NT 2585 7358 Four test pits were hand-excavated in advance of a proposed development. Wall foundations were encountered orientated N-S across the site on the line of old property divisions. These foundations relate to post-medieval tenements depicted on early maps. They were post-dated by demolition material dumped to form level terraces, probably as part of the 1899 development of Tron Square. No deposits, finds or features relating to the medieval period were encountered, implying this redevelopment involved scarping of the site.

A full report has been lodged with the NMRS.
