A test-trench 22.5m long by 0.9m wide north-west/south-east, to a depth of 0.8m, was excavated on the proposed development site. Prior to the excavation of the trench, a building to the rear of No. 26 South Main Street had been demolished. Rubble from the demolished structure was cleared to a depth of 0.5m below the existing ground level prior to the excavation of the test-trench. The stratigraphy in the test-trench consisted of 0.15m of rubble, which overlay a natural mid-orange/brown stony clay to a depth of 0.65m. No finds or features of an archaeological nature were noted.
