Monitoring was carried out as part of a residential development.
The development area occupies the constraint area for DU018-058, listed as the site of a 16th/17th-century house. A desktop assessment carried out in 2007 highlights that Cullenswood House is thought to have been located here. Testing took place on the site on 28 October 2014, under licence 14E0408 but nothing of archaeological significance was identified.
Monitoring was carried out during ground works associated with a residential development in 2016. The development of the site is clearly illustrated within the historic cartographic resource. A house was constructed on the site in the late 19th century, which was demolished in the 1970s. The remains of this structure and its backfilled basement were identified during the programme of testing.
During monitoring in 2016, further remains of the demolished house and backfilled basement were identified, but the basement was not re-excavated. The foundations walls of a small rectangular outbuilding associated with the demolished house were recorded. No features or deposits relating to the site of a 16th/17th-century house were noted.
