Abstract:		 Archaeological investigation conducted at 4 Crown Street examined two areas located immediately either side of the line of the precinct wall of the Abbey of St Edmund, the line of which runs through the house, forming the original rear wall. Work on one side of this wall revealed twenty-four graves containing nineteen burials. Four contained disarticulated human remains representing several individuals; these are considered to represent charnel pits containing the remains of individuals disturbed during the digging of later graves. Dating evidence was minimal but the graves are considered to be of medieval date due to their position within the 'Great Churchyard' of the Abbey. This was closed as a burial site in the mid-19th century, but the area is shown as a garden on Hodskinson's 18th century map and it is probable that encroachment of buildings/properties over the line of the precinct wall happened in the post-dissolution period. The area outside of the precinct wall contained evidence for structures and domestic occupation. Medieval rentals indicate that there were properties and tenements lining the eastern side of Crown Street, beneath the wall. It is possible that the earliest features in this area (a possible cellar, unexcavated) represent structures present prior to the construction of the precinct wall. Later activity in this area appears to represent post-dissolution redevelopment and incorporates the re-use of building materials that were probably taken from nearby monastic buildings. The full sequence did not need to be excavated for the works that were undertaken so is not fully dated or characterised, but it would not be unreasonable to suggest that the activity relates to buildings against the precinct wall.
