Abstract:		 Five trial trenches were excavated in the field to the south-west of the abbey and south of Beeleigh Chase. The trenching was designed to investigate known earthworks that are believed to be part of a farmyard complex visible on an estate map of 1805 and on later historic Ordnance Survey mapping. The trenches were in-part located to examine (ground prove) a number of potential archaeological features identified during recent geophysical survey undertaken on the site by Dr Tim Dennis. The field had not been subject to previous intrusive archaeological investigation. A possible quarry pit was identified that may be associated with near-by tile production, as suggested by the large quantity of tile wasters present in the field, or with documented 16th-century brick production at Beeleigh Abbey. Also, of possible medieval date and contemporary with the earlier life of the abbey, soil layers were recorded at the base of some of the excavated sequences. Later medieval and post-medieval remains included lengths of wall of possible 16th-century date and an 18th-century structure that included upright post positions and associated partitions and is likely to be part of some sort of animal shelter. Some of the investigated remains are depicted on the 1805 estate map, such as the trackway and yard areas, and others such as the animal shelter are not, implying they are earlier in date. Investigation of the T-shaped building was inconclusive; its approximate location was identified, but little substantial remains defining its extents were observed. However, one partly-visible possible post-pit located within the porch area of the building, may have had a structural function.
