Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	John Moore Heritage Services undertook an archaeological evaluation followed By three open area excavations on land beneath the former Bryan House (NGR SP 5844 2222) and land fronting onto Chapel Street throughout the summer of 2011. The excavations opened areas not destroyed by deep wall footings of the former Bryan House and on two areas fronting onto Chapel Street. An almost complete plan of the eastern end of the Priory Church (choir, chapels and chancel) first constructed in c. 1183 on land donated by Gilbert Bassett was uncovered. Three main phases of building works were identified. The preservation of the archaeology was best outside the building footprint of the former Bryan House where parts of some floors survived almost in situ. The discoveries within the church included burials with traces of wooden coffins, charnel pits and a stone-lined cist. Two of the skeletons (SK1 and SK7) were radiocarbon dated to the latter half of the 15th century. The remains of a reliquary, which were probably once displayed within the purbeck marble shrine as Saint Edburg, were discovered within a lead container buried into the latest floor layer of this part of the Church Two bones inside the reliquary were radiocarbon dated producing a date range of 1163-1277AD. This would suggest that although they were probably the bones which were displayed on the shrine (now at Stanton Harcourt Parish Church), they cannot be the remains of the real Saint Edburg, the daughter of a 7th century Saxon Earl.
