Test excavation of the rugby pitch at Gonzaga was a planning requirement when the school planned to construct an all-weather pitch. The archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping to subsoil showed extensive existing drainage on the site, and spreads of late 19th-century and later litter through the grass and topsoil. No archaeological material of any significance was recovered.
