The only archaeological feature to be seen in the course of the watching brief comprised a short section of sandstone wall, believed to date to some time in the first half of the 19th century. The wall was seen during excavations for decontamination works and was preserved in situ beneath an area of hardstanding. The monitoring of the works had shown that almost the entire site had been subject to very heavy disturbance effectively removing any archaeological deposits or burying them at a greater depth than the impact of the development.

The Great Northern Railway, a Roman vicus and a Roman road were all present in the vicinity. Mitigation was recommended during groundwork, as the preservational state of any remains was uncertain.

A narrow gas pipe trench excavated outside the west and north walls penetrated only construction debris of 1939. There was no archaeological impact.

The trial trenches were required to provide information on the ground conditions in advance of the proposed redevelopment of part of the site. The watching brief involved the observation of ground works in order that any exposed archaeological remains were recorded. During the course of monitoring the ground works evidence was discovered for deposits relating to the silting up of the millponds that were marked on 19th century maps and plans of the site. Evidence for a roughly built sandstone bank and wall were also uncovered, which were thought to mark the boundaries of the millponds.

These showed that the survival of the original road surface was at best variable and dependant upon the level of truncation due to services and 20th century road resurfacing. The best survival, due in part to the lower level of the road was on the north side of North Street. Twentieth century adaptation and re-use of the in situ kerbing on this side of the road to provide a sub-surface storm drain may also have accounted for the survival of some of the original pavement surface of limestone pitchings. However, the fourth test pit indicated that this survival was likely to have been patchy.

No archaeological features were identified during the course of the watching brief. It was apparent that previous mining activity had disturbed the whole of the extension area, not just the area of previous surface mining activity.

The site covered an area of approximately 0.35ha. Evidence for structures in the form of brick rubble, and various finds were revealed, including post-medieval pottery.
