In compliance with the relevant condition of the planning permission, a programme of archaeological testing was carried out on the site of the proposed development during September 1996.
A single test-trench was opened by hand along the long axis of the area designated for development. This trench extended from the street frontage within the boundary wall for a distance of over 20m. It was opened to a minimum width of 1m and an average depth of 1.5m, sufficient to reveal the underlying undisturbed natural deposits. These consisted mainly of glacial sands and gravels, but towards the south-east end of the trench a deposit of boulder clay was revealed.
No archaeological features or artefactual material were revealed, and in no case were deposits of archaeological significance encountered. Thus this site may be considered as having been archaeologically resolved.
