Abstract:
A limited programme of archaeological observation and recording was undertaken during the building works. This comprised monitoring of trenches excavated by the building contractors and recording of medieval masonry exposed during the building work. The monitoring of construction/service trenches at the rear and eastern end of the building and ground reduction inside Room G1 produced no significant archaeological observations. Recording of the medieval masonry confirmed details of the original building. Where observed the building consisted of rubble-cored walls with a facing of well-finished square or rectangular stones laid in regular courses. The stone used for the facing and architectural details was clunch, a local building stone. The internal face of an arched opening was exposed in the second bay from the eastern end of the building. This had a low segmental arch with a plain chamfer. It appeared to be integral with the construction and of the same style as the piers and vaulting within Room G1, suggesting that it is part of the original construction of the building. This would have formed the north doorway into the building.
