NT 130 783 Six archaeological trial trenches were machine-excavated in October 2002 in advance of a proposed development. The fieldwork uncovered a series of stone walls which were identified as garden boundaries and remains of 19th-century buildings. Large parts of the site were covered in late 20th-century demolition deposits up to 1.8m deep. No medieval remains were uncovered during the fieldwork.

The stone walls that ran along the S side of the site contained architectural details that indicate that they were part of a building. The wall fabric and map evidence indicate an 18th- or early 19th-century date.
