Continuation of the watching brief begun in 2006 by S Ford of TVAS during redevelopment works. Little of archaeological interest was revealed, although peat deposits were unexpectedly encountered on part of the site. Analysis of pollens from this material suggested a changing landscape, with heathland species predominating in the early part of the sequence, followed by an increase in alder carr and grassy species later on.

Evaluation by S Cass of TVAS revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by S Ford of TVAS revealed two diffuse charcoal-rich patches, one of which included some burnt flint. Both patches are considered to be the product of a burning activity such as scrub clearance.

Evaluation by S Hammond of TVAS revealed a number of ditches and linear gullies of late post-medieval date, probably relating to the previous use of the site as allotments. A single small pit was found to contain a very small amount of charcoal and burnt bone and is probably of an earlier date, but no definite dating evidence was found to confirm this.
