During conversion work on the former fishmarket part of the floor adjacent to the surviving tower of the second Merchant's House (1659) was removed by the contractors. Below the basal level of 19th century tile cladding the bottom of a blocked doorway was observed, reached by two steps. Removal of the steps by the contractors showed the steps had abutted a chamfered plinth at the base of the tower. One mason's mark was recorded, as was the line of the wall of the Merchant's House on the north side of the tower.
J B Kerr and J H McBrien 1985.
