NR 34975 88955 In March 2019, four 0.5m x 0.5m test pits were hand dug adjacent to the walls of Prior’s House (NR38NW 1)in advance of the potential installation of new exterior drainage.
No significant archaeological remains were encountered; deposits recorded comprised a mixture of re-deposited soil, midden and rubble down to a depth of at least 0.6m below the current topsoil and which equated to around a maximum of 0.2m below that of the current interior floor level of Prior House.
