Abstract:		 The watching brief formed part of the archaeological mitigation required as a planning condition for the redevelopment of the Site in regard of planning consent 18/11957/FUL (since withdrawn). The Site has long been recorded as the location of the Fisherton Anger Dominican Friary, founded in the late 13th century. A watching brief in 1978 is claimed to have discovered four burials although no records have survived. A total of 11 test pits (TP) Inhumation burials were recovered from TPs 1, 3 and 6. The finds were recorded at more than 2m below the current floor level. Nine boreholes in total were drilled (3 by cable percussion and 6 by a window sampling rig). The depositional sequence recorded in the boreholes on Fisherton Street consisted of between 1.6m and 2.95m of anthropogenic deposits. The results of the work have indicated that inhumation burials, aligned W-E, extend across an area of approximately 50 m E-W and 20 m N-S, which constitutes the entire northern part of the proposed development. These results have provided the first indication of the extent and location of a cemetery attached to the friary; No trace was found of the priory building, either as foundations or demolition rubble, from which it seems likely that the priory complex was located further to the north. The watching brief formed part of the archaeological mitigation required as a planning condition for the redevelopment of the Site. A total of 11 test pits (TP) of varying dimensions were distributed across all parts of the proposed redevelopment area to examine the depth, construction techniques and design of the foundations in the existing building. Inhumation burials were recovered from TPs 1, 3 and 6. Nine boreholes in total were drilled. The results of the work have indicated that inhumation burials, aligned W-E, extend across an area of approximately 50 m E-W and 20 m N-S, which constitutes the entire northern part of the proposed development. These results have provided the first indication of the extent and location of a cemetery attached to the friary; the southern extent remains unconfirmed. No trace was found of the priory building, either as foundations or demolition rubble, from which it seems likely that the priory complex was located further to the north.
