A watching brief was maintained on 18th February 1998 while workmen disturbed an area of the Inner Courtyard around the Custodian’s Office (Fig. 1). The work involved the laying of a flagged pathway along the E, W and S sides of the office, necessitating the lifting of c. 26 m length of thurf, some 1.5 m in width. The necessary depth for the new footpath did not interfere with any buried archaeology.
