A single test trench was excavated at the Market Yard car park in advance of the construction of an extension to a pay station. The trench revealed 18th-19th-century make-up deposits of rubble overlying a 17th-18th-century reclamation make-up horizon at a depth of 1.6m below the present ground level.
