Report on a watching brief which took place during the groundwork phase of construction of 10 x 1 bedroom apartments – this consisted of the excavation of a new soak-away at the north-ern part of the site and the subsequent ground reduction on the southern part of the site prior to piling. The excavation of the soak-away at the northern end of the site revealed that the site largely consisted of re-deposited soil, rubble and sand. Below this lay a peat-like material and clay substratum. No archaeological features or finds associated with archaeological features were revealed dur-ing the watching brief. Contains site photos, and a rough plan of location.
