Stripping of a small site for the foundations for proposed new offices revealed one feature cut into subsoil and continuing under the west boundary. It was the only feature which pre-dates the houses that were demolished immediately prior to excavation. The feature measured c. 3.1m along the boundary, extended c. 2.5m into the site and had homogenous grey clay soil fill. A fragment of red brick may have been part of the fill, but this is not definite. The probability is that the feature is post-medieval. The feature will be sealed intact under a raft foundation.
