Description

A watching brief was undertaken on the construction of several houses to the rear of 47-49 Gold St. The construction technique consisted of a series of foundation trenches approx. 1.2m deep excavated by machine. These were excavated down to a depth which cut the natural subsoil. All trenches for the buildings were examined with no evidence of occupation being visible in any of them.
