The site measured 27m east–west x 19.5m. Two trenches were mechanically excavated in June 2000. Modern ground level lay at 3.3m OD. Archaeologically sterile river-deposited gravels were encountered at 0.4–0.5m OD. They were overlain by dumped organic deposits containing 16th- to late 17th/early 18th-century pottery and objects. The top of these deposits lay at 1.15–1.3m OD. The remainder of the profile consisted of infilled cellars. Cartographic evidence confirms the dating of these deposits. It shows that in 1610 the site lay on the foreshore. By 1673 it had been reclaimed from the river, as a quay wall had been built by this time south of the river. By 1728 houses had been erected on the site.
