Description
The surveyed monument was the west gable of a north-south aligned building which could be dated to the 13th century by the small lancet in the south wall. The gable is now attached to, what remains of, the long range, the Hall of Pleas, to the north by a later addition and this is how it is shown on the Warren Map (1791). Warren also shows the buildings joined to a north-south range, labelled as a dormitory, by a north wall; this no longer exists but the scar where it joined the gable (further details in report)
