Full Description

The remains of two ditches and a brick wall were recorded in June 2015, during archaeological monitoring of the undergrounding of overhead power lines on the site of St Mary's Priory. Both ditches were aligned on an east to west axis, and, whilst no finds were recovered from their fills, both were cut into layers of post-medieval made-ground. The remains of the wall were found further to the north, and closer to Priory House. The form of the wall and the mortar used in its construction would suggest that it was of 19th century date, and likely related to the other farm buildings on the site. {1}{2}
