At the beginning of 1972 five small exploratory trenches were excavated to the south of the existing priory buildings. Two were placed in the market garden (NX 4442 4023) and three in the adjacent field to the north-east (NX 4446 4025). In 1975 further trenching was carried out in the field to the north-west of the priory. The excavations encountered evidence for buildings associated with the north range of the cloister, and for a later building, possibly a stable belonging to the minister.
