The watching brief only observed the groundworks for the construction of houses 1 to 7 at this stage. No features or archaeological deposits were observed during topsoil stripping and only three late post-medieval features were observed in the footings trenches. These included an 18th-19th century pit in the area of house 2, a 19th century dump in the area of house 6 and a 20th century pit in the area of house 1.
