Abstract:		 The archaeological investigation comprised the inspection of the topsoil and any subsequent deposits for archaeological features, the examination of spoil heaps and the recording of soil profiles. Any encountered features and deposits were cleaned by hand and recorded using pro forma recording sheets, drawn to scale and photographed as appropriate. Excavated spoil was checked for finds. Two archaeological features were encountered during the monitoring of the groundworks associated with the construction of a new extension. The earliest of the two features (F1005) uncovered appears to have been Roman in date and was significantly truncated by a later feature (F1007), which contained a single sherd of post-medieval red earthen ware and re-deposited Roman material; presumably originally deposited in F1005. Feature F1005 contained a small assemblage of Roman tile, which may have been associated with roadside structures, or been deposited as potential waste following demolition from major structures in the area. Contrary to antiquarian postulation, no cremations were encountered during archaeological monitoring, much like the previous evaluation on the site – this may reflect the relatively limited insight or definition of features afforded by the investigation.
