A mixed development, primarily for student accommodation, and a wayleave for services to an adjacent development were monitored because of the proximity of a holy well and enclosure. This site had been previously tested by Avril Hayes as part of another project (No. 1182, Excavations 2002, 02E1541). During monitoring, two small areas of archaeology were discovered. These were subsequently excavated by the writer and Tony Cummins (see Nos 1184 and 1185, Excavations 2002, 02E1710 and 02E1772).
