Abstract:		 A trial trench archaeological evaluation was carried out on land north of Mill Lane, Legbourne, to inform a forthcoming planning application for residential development. The site lies directly adjacent to the Scheduled remains of Legbourne Priory, a Cistercian nunnery occupied for the majority of the medieval period, which, following the Dissolution of the monasteries became part of the park of Legbourne Abbey, a post-medieval estate. It lies between the medieval villages of Legbourne and Little Cawthorpe, on the south bank of the Long River Eau. The earthworks of the priory and villages survive around the site, and aerial photography records the presence of a linear earthwork running N-S through the site itself, roughly corresponding with priory earthworks on the north side of the Long River Eau. The site is currently in use as a trout farm, and is therefore occupied by several large ponds, surrounded by banks of imported material, at least some of which has resulted from dredging of the river. Nine of the ten investigated trenches were archaeologically sterile, whilst the linear earthwork seen on aerial photographs, running N-S through the site, survives in the southern half of the site as a ditch sealed by approximately 2m of imported clay material.
