Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of an extension. A linear feature observed in two sections appeared to be a robber trench relating to the demolition of the abbey. The location of the feature corresponded with the supposed position of the abbey Cloister Walk, although its dimensions were not consistent with this interpretation. It was thought more likely to represent the remains of a pentice wall.
