Abstract:		 The groundworks consisted of a sub-rectangular shaped area that measured 20m by 13.60m. This area was reduced down by a maximum thickness of 0.97m, the deepest point being in the western part of the site, with a minimum reduction of 0.70m. Due to the compact area of the site, there was not enough space to pile the spoil outside of the excavation area. As a result, the spoil had to be constantly relocated within the site area so that the full extent could be examined. Additionally, a narrow service trench for the application of cables was observed running north/north-east by south/southwest along the eastern extent of the site area. 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 early medieval and medieval periods. The watching brief aimed to identify the existence of significant archaeological remains. However, during the course of the fieldwork, the only archaeological features or remains that were uncovered were a single early 20th century refuse pit.
