A rectangular structure was recorded during a watching brief carried out in June 2000, during redevelopment of the site. It is almost certainly a saw pit, which is marked on the 1:500 1885 Ordnance Survey map. The walls are clearly of two different builds, and it is probable that the north wall of the saw pit is part of the former foundry. The saw pit is probably associated with the rear of 3 Parkwood Road being used as a wheelwright's shop. See report for full details.
