[2] The monastery's location is now partly occupied by the Greyfriars Burial Ground, established in 1580.

[3] In 1997, when proposals were made to dismantle and rebuild the cemetery's eastern wall, two test pits were dug by the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust (SUAT).

Medieval pottery was also discovered, likely associated with the soil of lower garden abutting the original monastery wall.

The other pit demonstrated a lack of a progression of wall foundations, confirming that that area was inside the 1795 graveyard extension and outside the original monastery grounds.

The second pit also showed signs of infilling or levelling layers, possibly from when a burn, which ran along the burial ground's southern wall, was covered with soil.
