Abstract:		 The site works comprised the excavation of footings for the new build, Area 1, and a service trench, Area 2. The monitoring revealed archaeological features at the southern end of the site, in Area 1. No archaeological deposits were encountered at the northern end of the site (Area 2) although this latter area had minimal opportunity to observe deposits due to the keyhole nature of the excavation. Archaeological deposits encountered included three north-south aligned intercutting ditches, observed at the south end of the new build. The ditches dated to 12th century, the 17th-18th century and the 19-20th century. A further ditch, which contained a fragment of fairly undiagnostic tile, was identified on the northern edge of the new build and may have been the continuation of one of the southern ditches. The ditch features probably represented a long-lived property boundary re-excavated along the same alignment between the 12th and 19th-20th centuries. Ditch [106] contained a base depositional fill, indicating it may have been an open feature for a period of time. Natural deposits were encountered across the site, which were overlain by subsoil and topsoil layers at the southern end of the site, and by topsoil and modern make-up at the northern end of the site. The absence of subsoil in Area 2 may indicate modern truncation of this part of the site.
