An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of four small trenches to remove existing information boards and install new ones. One trench within a small chamber in the remodelled East Range revealed what may represent a sub-floor deposit (NJ 53211 40768). Two trenches just to the east of the East Range (NJ 53219 40765; NJ 53224 40756) revealed significant infill or levelling deposit, contemporary with the present entrance to the Courtyard on its E side. The depth and overall absence of finds suggest a major revision of ground levels along the east of the Courtyard, potentially associated with the remodelling works of the 17th century.
