Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the erection of a new building. The proposed development area was within the immediate vicinity of the remains of Burscough Priory, which was established in 1189, and in close proximity to several other features of historic importance in the local area. Only a single area was excavated, and only a narrow trench went deeper than the subsoil horizons. Few remains of particular archaeological significance were encountered although two stone linear features with the appearance of culverts were uncovered; however, these were not fully exposed and remained undated. Further features on the site seemed to relate to more recent attempts to combat flooding and to improve the ground, a problem which was still to be fully resolved. Although no dateable structural remains were uncovered, the presence of possible culverts and large pieces of finished stonework did suggest that rubble from the demolition of Burscough Priory, and possible water management features relating to the priory, may have survived in the vicinity.
