Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in December 2014 at Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset (ST 5005 8387). The site lies within the Scheduled area and the work was therefore required by English Heritage. The Written Scheme of Investigation was prepared by the Consultant Archaeologist to Glastonbury Abbey. The eastern boundary of the estate is defined by the medieval precinct wall, built by Abbot Frome (1420-56). Nothing further is known about the archaeology of this part of the precinct but it is almost certain that much of it is heavily disturbed. Nevertheless it is possible that Dodd Lane, which runs from outside this part of the precinct and extends up the higher land to the east, may be in origin a Roman road (Rahtz and Watts 1993). The work comprised the machine excavation of a single trench to install a fence restricting the activities of badgers in the wildlife area near the eastern boundary of the site. The excavation of a single trench close to the eastern precinct wall demonstrated that the area has been subjected to some historic disturbance. In addition the topsoil contained a single medieval sculptural fragment.
