Abstract:		 A archaeological watching brief was maintained during the construction of a new visitor centre and public toilets in the grounds of Battle Abbey (Planning Reference:RR/2005/1541/C1), adjacent to the gate house (TQ 7480 1570). 37 separate site visits were made by supervisory staff from Archaeology South East. The ground reduction comprised of an area formerly occupied by temporary buildings, public toilets and a Second World War Canadian Dugout. The made ground/overburden on this area reached depths of up to 2m. These made ground deposits were nearly all dated to the post medieval period. However, deposit 124, noted in section directly above the natural clay, contained only 12th Century tile. The outer precinct wall of the Abbey and the remains of a possible buttress was located in an area of ground reduction during the construction of a new pathway. These were well preserved and constructed of sandstone. One gully dated to the late medieval/ early post medieval period, was seen cutting into the natural geology beneath the modern made ground deposits. One possible medieval/early post medieval wall was seen in a service trench excavated along Park Lane. A Post medieval well was recorded during ground reduction at the northern edge of the site boundary, next to Park Lane. This well was constructed of sandstone bricks and may have had medieval origin, but was likely of 16th or 17th Century date.
