October 1999. Watching Brief.
Observation of seven tree planting holes. All but one contained modern make up/rubble down to the maximum depth of the pits, which was 0.70 metres.
One tree pit contained a late post-medieval/early modern brick wall with associated demolition deposits. Below this two late medieval/post-medieval flint walls with associated destruction deposits were seen. The remains in this tree pit began 0.20m below the modern asphalt car park surface.
