Watching brief maintained by G Potter of CA during the excavation of a pipe trench, and associated works, along the line of Speer Road. Two residual struck flints were recovered, but otherwise the only evidence of past activity was represented by occasional 19th and 20th century finds in reworked soils and other disturbed ground. The watching brief did provide some evidence on the natural topography and geology of the area, with the geological survey record confirmed in the northern half of the route of the pipe, and silt deposits infilling a shallow depression in the river terrace to the south.
