Watching brief to the rear of 35 High St. Natural subsoil (sandy clay with gravel patches) observed at 0.5m, capped by a mixed layer of humus/topsoil with occasional lenses of natural it looked very disturbed. The only significant layering within the upper horizon was a 10-15cm layer of gravel/ cobbling which probably represents an old yard surface. No other finds.
