Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at 116 The Commons during groundworks for a ground-floor extension to the side. Monitoring was carried out at this site due to its proximity to the Prettygate Dyke, which is projected to run through the southeastern part of the site. No trace of the dyke was encountered but the considerable thickness of the topsoil and subsoil deposits may be related to the site’s proximity to it.
