The site, that of a proposed office extension on the corner of Hanbury Lane and St Catherine’s Lane West, consisted of a concreted open yard space with an upstanding building to the west. It is situated adjacent to St Catherine’s Church, which lies on the site of a parish church built by the monks of St Thomas’s Abbey in the late 12th century. Testing took place on 23 March 2001. Three test-trenches were opened by machine to an average depth of 2m. Beneath the concrete yard surface, layers of modern and post-medieval demolition rubble were revealed, comprised largely of red brick, mortar and stones. No material of archaeological significance was uncovered.
