NF 10321 99217 (NF19NW 21.45) A watching brief was undertaken, 9 June 2017, during remedial works to a 19th-century drain running under the street 19.5m SE of the Factor’s House. Excavation revealed a stone-lined drain with capstones covering a naturally accrued fill of earth very similar to surrounding topsoil. This fill was removed to clear the drain and the capstones were restored to their original location.
