NS 3996 7452 A watching brief was maintained on 3 February 2009 during the excavation of 11 small holes around the flight of steps down to the cistern to the SW of the French Prison, to allow the installation of a new handrail. Masonry seen in the holes probably represented an access structure pre-dating the current modern steps.
