Watching Brief (27 January 2010 - 3 February 2010)
NS 2480 4140 A watching brief was maintained 27 January–3
February 2010 on the site of a proposed extension to the existing
station building. The inspection of two holes dug prior to the
start of work revealed the presence of made ground to a depth
of >1.5m. The depth of the made ground suggested that there
was no reasonable possibility of significant archaeological
material being disturbed by the development. All of the
excavation work undertaken was within the made ground and
no significant archaeological deposits or finds were recorded.
