The site was until recently occupied by office buildings, which have since been demolished. The proposed development comprises the construction of two apartment blocks with associated services and roadways. The investigation took the form of mechanically excavated test-trenches, excavated by a thirteen-ton tracked excavator equipped with a 2m-wide grading bucket. Subsoil was exposed in most of the trenches; several also revealed rubble fill deposits associated with deep basements. No archaeological deposits were present in any of the test-trenches.
