Summary

A watching brief maintained during groundworks at this site in 2020 recorded no archaeologically-significant remains. It should though be noted that natural geological deposits were only exposed in one small area, with the remaining subsoil potentially masking any features present elsewhere. A small number of unstratified Roman finds were recovered.
