An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the site of a car park off Memorial Avenue. The watching brief was required as a condition of planning consent for redevelopment at the site. The scope of works consisted of archaeological monitoring of preparatory ground-working activities on-site, including construction of an access road with a service trench beneath it, reduction of the ground level within the footprint of the new building, and excavation of a number of service trenches and holes for the insertion of waste-water tanks. The base of a narrow stone wall was located within the service trench underlying the access road. The date of the feature was unclear, although it may relate to a post-medieval field boundary. A disused manhole was identified roughly in the centre of the footprint of the new building. No other archaeological features were identified, and no artefacts were recovered during the watching brief.
