The layout of four pits was determined by geotechnical concerns, the excavation of which was monitored. Cellarage associated with previously demolished buildings (dating from c. 1820) was identified. The western limit of Pit 1 was defined by a rendered red-brick wall aligned south-east/north-west. The base of the cellar was visible c. 1.8m below the present ground surface. The deposit to the rear of the street front consisted of demolition debris and garden soil. Natural subsoil was identified 1.7–1.9m below the present ground level.
