HU 398 095 (centred on)

A watching brief was maintained during minor excavations on 8–9 February 2010. A small area of previously recorded collapsed dry stone wall, towards the N end of what are thought to be medieval structures to the NE of the Old House was removed. The exposed core of the wall was recorded photographically and the wall was then reconstructed using the original stone and with reference to

archival photographs. The removal of stones and a narrow strip of turf from three small areas of the ‘cobbled’ path was also monitored. No finds or features of archaeological significance were recorded.
