96 EXCAVATIONS ON THE SITE OF LAUNCESTON PKIOBY. 



straight to the present St. Thomas Street, and then at right angles 

 to the southern side of the newly cut road to Wooda Lane at 

 the foot of the Old Hill, where I think a portion of the wall still 

 forms the lane boundary as far as Harper's Lake. From this 

 point the stream may have formed a sufficient fence around the 

 Convent Garden, which garden extended to the new cottages in 

 Wooda Lane, and was bounded on the west by the present lane 

 leat. I think it probable that the present existing mill pond 

 was the site of an ancient fish pond attached to the Priory ; and 

 that the Priory barn and stables stood in the orchard on the 

 north of the pond, old foundations having been found in this 

 orchard in former years. The Priory Mill stood near the site of 

 the present Town Mills. The railway cutting through the 

 Priory meadow was again extended in 1891, but no further 

 discoveries of interest were made.
