Abstract:		 In October 2004 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at The Hall, Burwell, Cambridgeshire, required as part of an archaeological condition placed on the planning consent for the construction of a new stable block. The Hall building itself (SMR 00112a) is medieval in origin, and The Hall, and its associated grounds lie on a platform enclosed within a medieval moat (SMR 01122). The Hall has undergone substantial alteration over time. The ground works comprised the mechanical excavation (by wheeled excavator) of a foundation trench, approximately 0.75m and 0.80m deep, around the outline of the proposed new building. The archaeological monitoring uncovered part of the infilled moat ( and evidence for the demolished and heavily robbed outbuildings once associated with the The Hall. The earliest features noted was a ditch, running to the south of, and parallel with the infilled moat. The moat had been, at least partially, backfilled with 'demolition' material comprising large quantities of broken clunch It is likely that this material derived from one or more of the outbuildings associated with the The Hall, although it is possible that the material could relate the demolition of the near by Friary following the Dissolution (1535/6). None of the stone observed during the watching brief was worked. Two, heavily robbed, remnants of wall foundation indicate the presence of earlier stone-built buildings on the site, part of a range of outbuildings associated with the nearby house. It should be noted that the ground works, and thus the area of archaeological monitoring, were very limited in scale.
