Archaeological Monitoring of groundworks took place on 13 May 2025. The topsoil was removed from the area of the footprint of the proposed house. The outlines of the foundations were marked and subsequently excavated. The foundation trenches varied from 0.5m to 1m in depth and were c. 0.8m wide. The subsoil consisted of light yellowish-grey silty-clay with occasional medium sized stones.
A 20m diameter buffer zone surrounding the adjacent recorded monument (WM007-108—- Icehouse) was marked with temporary steel posts and hazard tape to denote the area that is excluded from any construction activity.
No features, finds or deposits of archaeological significance were identified during the course of monitoring.
