(NT 257 736) A watching brief in February 2003 on the excavation of two trenches 0.45m deep, directly outwith the City Chambers, exposed four stratigraphic levels. These have been interpreted as levelling and structural layers associated with the construction of the modern pavement on the High Street. Beneath these was a band of redeposited natural red clay (extent not established) containing animal bone, slate and degraded building material from earlier phases of activity on the High Street.
