Test trenching and monitored demolition of the old Orange Hall were carried out in advance of redevelopment and construction of a new Orange Hall.

No archaeological remains were uncovered during the test trenching phase but a brick-domed well was uncovered during the demolition of the hall. The well is believed to have dated to the 19th century and was re-capped prior to construction.
