Building recording and watching brief carried out in May 2005 by Archaeological Services and Consultancy during structural repairs revealed evidence for construction, former wattle and daub infilling of the box frame, sub floor layers and the location of a missing rail. Evidence was also found that the box frame had been subject to remedial repair on at least previous occasion (B2).
