The site was found to be obscured by building debris from the previous works during an initial visit on May 2nd. Consytruction works commenced on May 24th and periodic visite swre undertaken unril May 26th when the new building foundations were completed. No significant archaeological deposits were recorded and it was recommended that no futher archaeological work would be required on this specific site. <1>
