NHER 66008 (Negative evidence record) - Site where groundworks revealed no archaeologically-significant remains

June 2015. Watching Brief.
Maintained during construction of three new terraced properties.
The excavation of foundation trenches and other intrusive groundworks revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits.
There was clear evidence for significant recent disturbance with what appeared to be post-medieval or later demolition material lying directly above the natural sand. It is likely that much of this disturbance occurred during the construction and subsequent demolition of the flat-roofed 20th-century building that had formerly occupied the eastern end of the site. This had replaced a more extensive row of late 19th-century terraced houses that can be seen on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Six Inch map (S1). A brick-built cellar recorded in part of the site had probably been associated with these houses.
No finds were recovered.
