2010. Watching brief.
A watching brief during the excavation of an exploratory trench prior to the underpinning of a dangerously leaning section of the Maldon Friary Wall recorded a brick foundation at a depth of 1.05m. It was set on a clay subsoil and a large root from an adjacent tree had penetrated through the wall. The soil banked up against the foundation was a garden soil with numerous brick and mortar fragments. <3>
