Abstract: |
A programme of historical building recording and monitoring and recording was undertaken in June 2018 by Oakford Archaeology (OA) during building work at St Nicholas' Priory, Exeter. The work, consisting of repairs and underpinning to the boundary wall and the excavation of a single investigative trial pit in The Mint, was carried out as a condition attached to the grant of scheduled monument consent granted by Historic England. To the southwest of the stair tower a stretch of 11.7m of facework of the boundary wall was recorded. The build is post-medieval and is likely to date to the 17th or early 18th century, a period when the building was subdivided into separate dwellings and further buildings encroached on the land to the southwest. A trench was excavated within The Mint. This was approximately 5.25m long, 0.65m wide and excavated to a maximum depth of 0.45m, exposing modern made ground above plastic sheeting covering previously disturbed ground. |
