round the margin. If Mr Hunter is correct in asserting this to 

 have been an oven, its small dimensions and the absence of a 

 vent, render it improbable that it was, as he seems to have 

 thought, the only or principal oven of the establishment. 



In one of Grose's views there is shown a fine pointed arch, a 

 little to the south-east of the church, which seems to have been 

 the main entrance to the cloisters from the ground outside ; but 

 no remains of this arch, or of any of those depicted in Cardonnel's 

 drawings, now exist. The foundations of an octagonal building 

 — probably the Chapter House — thirty yards to the east of the 

 choir, were discovered and dug up about the end of last century. 

 Other monastic buildings are known to have stood to the west 

 of the refectory, parallel to the nave; but they have all utterly 

 perished, and their character and arrangement are now 

 unascertaiuable. 



Several floor -crosses and other sepulchral slabs have been col- 

 lected, and placed against the exterior of the south transept- 

 wall. One of them is figured in Mr Hunter's work, and draw- 

 ings of two others are here presented. (Fig. 9.) All have 



crosses, swords, or other devices incised upon them, but there 

 are no inscriptions.
