The archaeological watching brief was undertaken during geotechnical investigations as part of the groundworks for the proposed development. Archaeological monitoring work was carried out from 21/08/2023 to 18/09/2023. During this time a total of 75 proposed test pits were monitored, 13 of which were relocated due to either archaeological features or geotechnical reasons. Test pits 24, 28.1, 43, 47 and 59 all contained archaeological features, this included four possible postholes, a pit and a linear feature of unknown function. All features were recorded in situ and remained un-excavated with test pit locations resited.
