Abstract:		 The archaeological watching brief involved the monitoring of the ground reduction by approximately 0.70m in depth. The ground was reduced to accommodate structural work related to the erection of a new extension located at the rear of the Old Post Office house. The area impacted by the foundations of the new extensions consisted of approximately 502 m. Layers (1), (2) and (3) were removed using a mechanical excavator fitted with a tooth less bucket. These made up ground (1) and garden layers (2) and (3) that were 0.80m, in depth sealed archaeological deposits. The base of the earliest archaeological Feature (6) was 1.25m below ground level. The archaeology encountered consisted of: 20th century made up ground, associated with the erection of the former extension and parking area (Context (1)), garden / agricultural layers (Contexts (2) and (3)). These three contexts sealed a rubble layer (4) most likely associated with a 18th -19th century outbuilding, a northwest to southeast aligned ditch Feature [6], the remains of an 18th century outbuilding foundation wall (Context (8)) and associated 19th century clay pipe drain (Context (9)).
