A watching brief was undertaken 5–12 May 2010 on top soil stripping and excavations associated with the construction of a new footpath in King’s Park. The site was considered archaeologically sensitive as a previous investigation in the 1970s recorded the remains of a Roman road just inside the park’s main SE gateway. There is also written evidence of practice trenches being excavated near
the route of the pathway during WW1. The watching brief recorded one cut feature that could possibly be the result of activity during WW1 and a deposit of what was considered to be in situ natural gravel at the S end of the trench. In general, the deposits comprised natural sands and gravels below stony topsoil and subsoil.
