Abstract:		 Trial-holes and underpinning trenches excavated through the footing of the precinct wall, to the north of the standing gateways, revealed a layered footing with a stony, sand and, locally, lime mortar rich, upper component that suggests two phases of footing construction which was remarkably consistent throughout. On balance, a post-medieval, late 17th-18th century date seems likely for the stretch of precinct wall running from the medieval gates around to the north-east corner of the precinct. Examination of the rubble from the fallen section of wall revealed an eclectic mix of stone, including flint cobbles, beach pebbles, exotic boulders (possibly ships ballast) and re-used building material. Diagnostic elements included 12th century Caen limestone mouldings that could be matched to the ruined Leper Chapel of St. James some 300 metres to the north-west. Prior to the erection of the scaffolding to facilitate the consolidation work on the refectory ruin, a photographic survey was undertaken along with a detailed examination of the standing structure. In addition to original medieval elements, a further two main phases were recognised, although these clearly could be further subdivided. Essentially, however, the second phase relates to post-dissolution occupation of the site when the building was converted into a house, part of which was at one time used as offices for corporate affairs and a jail, while the third phase relates to the period when the house had been partly demolished and the remaining structures utilised as farm buildings and subsequently abandoned altogether. Some of the third phase structures, including window openings, were purely superficial and added simply to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the ruin.
