Evaluation undertaken in 2017-2019 identified the original canon's closes, a probable flood plain settlement of Saxo-Norman or earlier date and 13th to 14th century house platforms. The ground plan for the historically attested canons' houses and gardens of the late 11th century were ident...

The recovery of 13th century pottery sealed within the bank of the Croft adjoining the Bean Closes indicates the bank is not related to the setting out of the canons' residences but is part of a later re-organisation of the area.
