Watching Brief (20 January 2016 - 22 January 2016)
NT 04083 37820 A watching brief was undertaken, 20–22 January 2016, during ground reduction and the excavation of three foundation trenches associated with development work. The excavations mostly recorded a disturbed topsoil containing remnants of a previously cobbled or slabbed
surface. A capped well, probably Victorian in date, was uncovered in the easternmost foundation trench (B), which led to the trench being moved 1.5m to the E. The well was subsequently infilled with stone and buried.
