A site assessment consisting of one test-trench was carried out on 2 November 1998. The trench was opened to a depth of 1.1m and was found to contain loose rubble fill. At 1.1m a layer containing earth, bone fragment, shell and organic material was noted. This was deemed an archaeological layer and was not investigated. The developer was advised to design foundations for the proposed building that would not interfere with this layer. No development has taken place on the site to date.
