Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was maintained during groundworks associated with the restoration work at the site undertaken in order to re-open the Priory to the public Groundworks for new pathways, steps, information boards and benches for visitors, a rabbit fence and general landscaping were monitored and recorded. Test-pits were also excavated at a number of locations to facilitate the accurate laying out of buried archaeological features. Masonry remains of some of the Priory buildings were encountered and recorded, and a range of finds were recovered from the topsoil and layers of rubble encountered, mostly during monitoring of the excavations for the laying of the new footpaths. Closely datable material included an assemblage of pottery dating from the 13th to the 20th centuries, a small assemblage of clay pipes and other material including small quantities of metalwork, animal bone, glass and oyster shell. |
