The site is located directly adjacent to Selby Lane and consists of two separate private dwellings, numbers 24 and 30 at either end of the site and a commercial garage with forecourt situated between the two properties. The groundworks involved ground clearance across the site, the removal of petrol tanks and demolition of above ground structures, followed by removal of hard standing areas, topsoil stripping and ground reduction, and the subsurface clearance of foundations of earlier properties in each plot. A visual inspection was conducted across the site prior to observation of initial groundwork. Demolition of above ground structures was underway with general ground clearance and no archaeological deposits, features or pre-modern artefacts were encountered during this inspection of the site. Overburden in Plot 1 consisted of modern brick and hardcore and gravel. This lay directly above the natural clay geological substratum and comprised an homogenous sterile clay, present to a uniform extent across the sections inspected within the petrol tanks void. Previous reduction of the ground levels may have reduced the topsoil and subsoil within the area of plot 2 probably during construction of the garage and petrol station and forecourt. This truncation may have removed any archaeological horizons that were present between the natural substratum and the overlying modern surfaces and made ground within the plot. Groundwork in plot 1 and 3 removed foundations approximately 1 m deep of earlier structures and stripped each plot of turf and a maximum depth of topsoil of approximately 200mm. No natural substrata were observed other than in the sides of the foundations trenches and the voids for petrol, tanks in plot 2. Observation of groundwork has, therefore, revealed an absence of archaeological deposits across the site.
