Monitoring of groundworks in the lands of Loreto Abbey is continuing. To date, no features of archaeological significance have been uncovered. A well, depicted on an early 20th-century OS map, is the sole exception; this is situated outside the site and was revealed when its cover collapsed as a result of plant movement.
