A watching brief was carried out during the digging of foundations for a house on the backlands of this property in the vicinity of the 16th- century Seagate Castle (NS33NW 3). Approximately 0.5m of imported topsoil was found to overlie a loamy sand. Only one feature was found cutting the loamy sand layer, a modern subcircular round-bottomed pit c. 1.Om wide and c. O.6m deep. The loamy sand formed the upper part of a developed soil profile which graded to natural sand at a depth of c 1.2m below modern
ground level. No features were identified within this deposit, but fragments of medieval green-glazed pottery were recovered from depths of between 0.8m and 1.05m within the soil profile.
