Abstract:		 An archaeological pre-determination test pitting evaluation was carried out in advance of the construction of a wall. Three test pits were excavated along the north-south alignment of the proposed wall. The results of the test-pitting indicated that much of the area where the proposed wall is to be built has been built up by just under a metre of demolition rubble, presumably from the houses depicted on the First and Second Edition OS maps which were demolished sometime after 1955; there are also buildings in this approximate location shown on Roy's Military Survey of 1750, so these former buildings could have been 18th century in origin. The only surviving feature was a concrete slab or floor surface with one mortar-bonded block of sandstone overlying it.
