NO 1082 2380 A slight change to the proposed new building

footprint meant the stripping of a part of the site that had

never been excavated. Two weeks of hand excavation, 24

September – 5 October 2018, defined the remains of the line

of the N wall of the friary’s S range and the N wall of the S

cloister arcade and its metalled surface. Evidence was found

for post-friary cultivation and extensive robbing of the wall

lines to the E. The continuation of part of the friary water

supply, located in 2017, was traced up to the face of the N

wall of the S range where it turned E to run along the outside

face of that wall.
