Abstract:		 Six trial trenches were excavated in the paddock west of the extant abbey buildings, targeting areas of the field not previously investigated by the earlier excavation work undertaken by the Maldon Archaeological and Historical Group. The previous work revealed a medieval hall house, a separate smithy, a detached kitchen/bakehouse and the site of a Tudor brick clamp. Two medieval rubbish pits were identified in the trenching, one dating to the 13th-/14th century and the other to the 15th century. A variety of medieval finds were recovered, often as residual elements in later features. Finds included pottery, both local and imported, medieval and ‘Tudor’ bricks and several iron artefacts, such as a candlestick and a scabbard chape. A number of quarry pits, for the extraction of clay and gravel, were identified and dated to the late medieval/early post-medieval period. The two largest pits were located close to the previously excavated medieval hall house. Their presence suggests that this building may have gone out of use earlier in the 16th century, rather than at the Dissolution as previously suspected. In the south of the site, trenching revealed the cause of a linear hollow to be an underlying 19th-/20th-century ditch. No further building remains were encountered by the trenching.
