NS 5994 6526 SUAT was commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment in advance of a proposed development in an area to the E of High Street, S of Duke Street, and N of the 1983 College Goods Yard excavations, which recovered truncated medieval remains. Results from ten trenches indicated that most of the site had been subject to extensive clearance prior to railway development in the 19th century. However, a strip of ground in the SW of the site, beneath the line of 18th-century New Vennel, may have remained at an earlier ground level. Although no features or deposits of archaeological significance were found, the assessment identified a small area of potential concern: residual post-medieval finds dating to no earlier than the 18th century were recovered amongst Early Modern material.

NS 5992 6526 A watching brief was carried out intermittently, 23 February–7 April 2010, during the construction of a new office block (B1a). One area to the W of the former High Street Goods Station was considered to be potentially archaeologically sensitive, but no significant archaeological features or deposits were recorded in this area.
