Monitoring and excavation in advance of residential and retail development located probable post-medieval linear features and pits. Ten features were recorded, eight being possible pits and two possible ditches. Five of the pits were U-shaped and all contained multiple deposits. One of the larger pits measured 1.9m by 1.95m and had four main deposits. The uppermost fill contained charcoal, bone and slag. The bottom fill was a compacted natural-like clay deposit. The largest feature on the site was a pit that could not be fully exposed as it ran right up to the Kenyon Street carpark boundary. The feature was c. 8m by 4m and at least 1.75m deep and was vaguely rectangular, with irregular sides, and contained sixteen different deposits, from which bone, slag, brick and possible tile were retained.
