Trial trenching NE of the standing remains of the nave of the Priory Church (see 12380) revealed traces of the previously unrecorded transept. Substantial mortared masonry foundations sat on an unmortared sand and stone deposit. The SW corner had been buttressed and survived intact almost to floor level. Its N wall had been largely robbed, following the dissolution of the Priory in 1536 when the nave was converted to a parish church. The line of the E wall had been destroyed by post-medieval pit digging but it is clear that the transet was comparatively small, c.4.5 x 8.25m internally. The N wall of the E arm of the church and the transept floor had also been robbed. Two probable Medieval burials were located W of the transept. <1>
