Three test trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed development. Rubble, cables and pipes were exposed within Trench 1 and this section of the site had been significantly disturbed in the past. Sandy material was exposed within Trench 2 and Trench 3. This represented redeposited material and it is likely that this section of the site was reclaimed land and also disturbed. Modern features including a pit and linear feature were identified in Trench 2 and a slightly curved feature and pit filled with animal bone in Trench 3. All features were filled with loose garden soil and are modern.
A section of this site located west of Trench 2 and Trench 3 was also monitored. The same sandy redeposited material was exposed within this area. No archaeological features or deposits were recorded and no finds were recovered.
