Abstract:		 The groundworks consisted of the excavation of a series of foundation footing trenches for the replacement dwelling. The new garage build is no longer part of current planning application. The foundation excavations covered an area measuring 25.50m by 20.20m. The foundation trenches had a maximum width of 0.90m and had a maximum depth of 1.10m. Before the foundation excavations took place, part of the topsoil layer was stripped and removed, and a layer of crushed concrete and stones were laid down, in order to keep the site dry and clean. Where archaeological horizons were encountered they were cleaned by hand and excavated appropriately. Standard John Moore Heritage Services techniques were employed throughout, involving the completion of a written record for each deposit encountered, with scale plans and section drawings compiled where appropriate. A photographic record was also produced. The resultant spoil from the works was visually scanned, especially for finds relating to the Roman and medieval periods. The watching brief aimed to identify the existence of significant archaeological remains, with a particular focus on Roman and medieval periods. However, during the course of the groundworks, the only features uncovered were two undated linear ditches and an undated pit.
