Full description

1. A test pit evaluation was undertaken in advance of an extension to a children's play area. One test pit revealed 19th century rubble, and the second test pit contained a wall which was overlain by a layer of rubble, possibly of 16th century date. This wall is likely to be medieval and potentially represents part of the remains of an annex to the refectory building, which still stands on site.
