Details	Medieval burgh backlands. In June 1996 SUAT Ltd undertook a watching brief on engineers' test pits, and excavated one trial trench to assess the site in advance of development. This investigation represented the first of a two-phase investigation. No relevant archaeological deposits were revealed at the west end of the site, but the east end (Baltic Street) potentially important deposits were identified. These were garden soils, windblown sand and sandy loam deposits containing medieval and post-medieval activity in the backlands off Baltic Street.
