NM 2863 2439 Three narrow trenches were excavated across the presumed line of a blocked field drain in the field to the S of the Abbey on 26–27 May 2008. Below 0.2m of topsoil one trench located a spread of cobbles. No artefacts were recovered. The line of the field drain was found in only one of the trenches and further excavation was stopped. The location of the trenches was recorded by EDM.
