Minor trial cuttings, carried out in November 1970, preparatory to drainage works on the site, yielded no finds or evidence of features or activity which might shed light on the period of construction and use of the oratory. In the course of excavation it was ascertained that the projecting foundation plinth on the north and south sides also juts out beyond the east side of the oratory.
