Abstract:		 The watching brief consisted of the archaeological supervision and recording of foundation trenches for a refuse, bike and generator store at the rear of Berkshire House. The overall area of excavation measured 8.3m E-W by 7.3m N-S and was excavated to a maximum depth of 1.2m BGL, at which depth natural geology was not reached. The earliest deposits uncovered were layers of garden soil which were dated to between 1700 and the 1870s. Truncating these layers were a number of walls and a brick 'drain'. The masonry dated to between 1750 and 1925. Capping the wall remnants were a number of layers which contained brick and CBM fragments suggesting a phase of demolition and ground levelling. There was extensive modern truncation from services across the site, and approximately 0.4m of modern ground levelling, concrete and tarmac surfacing. The ground level at the time of excavation was 26.98m OD.
