NO 510 165 Scotia Archaeology Limited carried out a watching brief during the excavation of narrow cable trenches within the courtyard of St Mary's College. The excavation yielded evidence of several medieval backlands, each approximately 8.8m wide, running southwards from South Street. These plots were defined by rubble walls to the sides of which were what appeared to be lanes about 1.5m wide.
