A watching brief undertaken in 2005 found a wall aligned east to west 0.4 metres below the surface in one of the 6 pits excavated around St Mary's parish church. The wall was constructed of flint nodules and rubble sandstone bonded in lime mortar. No dressed stones were visible in the exposed masonry. The wall was interpreted as the northern wall of the north cloister walk and lies on the line of the wall predicted by Dalton.

Part of the cloister wall was located in a pit close to the south tower, one of six excavated around the church to house new copper base plates for the lightening conductors. Fragments of medieval earthenware floor-tile were also recovered from this and another pit near the south porch. These are thinner than the 13th century tiles reset in the retroquire against the back of the reredos within the church and must, therefore, derive from a different source and suggest a medieval tilery somewhere in the Otter valley.
