NT 2514 7344 A watching brief was maintained on 16 December 2010 during the lowering of steps in a passage cut between the two vaults currently housing the French Prison reconstruction. The presence of brick fragments was noted in the fabric of the wall-core; this may reflect the presence of an existing gap, exploited in 1980 and enlarged, rather than the use of brick within the late 15th- early 16th-century wall lines.
