Abstract:
Four evaluation pits/trenches were excavated on the site. Brickearth was found at between 16.70m OD and 16.80m OD. Although no in situ Roman remains were found, three redeposited fragments of Roman pottery and tile were recovered from the site. A plan showing the conjectured layout of the monastery predicted a latrine to be present on the western boundary of the site. The presence of this latrine was confirmed during the evaluation. The masonry latrine had an outfall or lip which feed into a linear drain which appeared to have once had a stone lining which had been robbed. A gravel surface (c 17.40m OD) is probably a contemporary ground surface associated with the post-medieval wall which is preserved in situ on the northern edge of the site. The gravel may be the surface of a courtyard on the south side of the wall accessed from the garden to the north via a 2.85m wide doorway. The blocking of the doorway may be contemporary with the deposition of up to 2m of dumped deposits on the site. A dump deposit which included remains of painted plaster recorded at 0.25m above the gravel courtyard surface would indicate that substantial remains of the monastery were still being robbed in the late 16th/early 17th century. The bulk of the pottery from the dump deposits dates to the 16th to early 17th centuries. The refuse deposits were truncated by a series of 19th century basement walls.
