Abstract:		 In 2014, a single-trench evaluation at the site recovered Late Prehistoric pottery in a feature which had cut the natural sand cap. This in turn led to further mitigation in an untruncated zone where a new basement was proposed. In the event, the prehistoric pottery was found to have been residual material in a natural feature. The site was found to have been subject to intense animal burrowing and bioturbation. A short section of an undated possible gully was excavated which, potentially, could be interpreted as a palaeochannel although it possessed a regular 'U' profile. It did not contain finds. The main part of the site was taken up by numerous tanning waste pits and a horn-core lined pit of the 17th-18th centuries although direct evidence for tanning was not present. This period of activity may have seen some sort of ground reduction or terracing. The tanning pits were then sealed in the later 18th century to provide building platforms for residential terraced housing that appeared at the end of the century. The partial survival of below ground brickwork was recorded. A contemporary brick built well and soakaway were nearby. A hundred or so years later the houses were declared slums and demolished leaving the land parcel open for the building of the Magistrate's Court in 1902.
