Interpretation
-
- This was a potential foundation wall for a structure. Its location at the bend in the road into the abbey site and the presence of cobbled surfaces either side of it (a potential driveway) made this a possible candidate for a gatehouse structure into the abbey - though no firm conclusions can be drawn.
