Monument details

HER Number:TR 15 NW 647
Type of record:Monument
Name:Three Robber Trenches

Summary

Three negative features, all apparently infilled by demolition material. One of them is a linear feature which is most likely the remnants of a shallow wall. The other two features could have been the result of the removal of trees or large shrubs, however they are just as likely to have been the locations of some of the outbuilding structures from the Friary.
