NX 444 403 A series of remote sensing surveys was undertaken in March 2002 over an area of ground at the E end of Whithorn Priory Cathedral, to determine whether graves and other buried features could be identified in advance of a proposed programme of remedial and conservation works associated with the vault below the South Chapel.
It was not possible to correlate sub-surface anomalies with graves, as indicated by in situ headstones. The remains of what may be the S wall of the choir and a S stair down to the crypt, however, were clearly identified.
