Three trenches were excavated across the subject site. No archaeological features were encountered. The test trenching revealed that the site consists of an area of bedrock outcrop, with a short stretch of mortared wall of probable nineteenth-century date at the eastern side. It is possible that the straight edges of the bedrock represent the remains of a quarry, pre-dating the nineteenth century. The route of St Michael’s Lane is marked by a concrete footpath at the western side of the site.
