NO 4935 3260 The watching brief entailed observing the excavation of the pits used to form the foundation pads for the new school. This was carried out on the stripped playing field north-west of the current school. The watching brief was undertaken between the 31st January and 13th February 2008 in fair weather conditions.
Only three features of archaeological significance were discovered; a probable garden feature, a rubble land drain and a group of irregular flattish stones similar to the ones discovered in the 2007 evaluation. The first two features probably related to a 19th-century garden. The stones however were more difficult to interpret and were either natural in origin or possibly represented a poorly constructed man-made surface of unknown date.
