NX 4447 4028 A watching brief was carried out, 21 September 2016, during the excavation of a small trench to allow the installation of a new information panel. Below the topsoil, abundant stone and mortar fragments were seen, which probably represented demolition debris. Considering the ruinous state of the nearby priory, this is unsurprising, and

the deposits seen are likely to have been further disturbed during grave digging.
