Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during the lowering of steps in a passage cut between the two vaults currently housing the French Prison reconstruction. Nothing of archaeological note was revealed during this exercise except that brick fragments were noted in the fabric of the wall-core. The latter 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.
