This included excavation of an area 3.6m by 1.8m by 0.46m deep. Under the modern paving an overburden deposit consisting of a dark sandy silty clay from which no archaeological finds were recovered.

Any such deposits surviving were thought likely to be at a greater depth below present ground level.
