Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during 2006--7 on the site of the Old Barn, Darley Abbey, Derby, in advance of restoration work to the nineteenth-century barn. The site was of historical interest due to the `missing' remains of the Augustinian abbey believed to have been established c. 1146. The abbey was demolished in 1538, leaving only one standing building, the Old Abbey Public House. During the watching brief three walls and a narrow path were uncovered which are believed to have been associated with the abbey. Two of the walls were substantial structural walls; the third appeared to be a smaller, internal wall. Medieval pottery was discovered beneath the foundation layer of one of the walls, confirming a mid-thirteenth- to fourteenth-century date. Whilst excavating service trenches another wall, with an associated flagged floor level, was uncovered. The stone used was comparable to that of the previous walls discovered but the structures were proven to be of a later date. A large arched structure was discovered in close proximity to the Old Abbey Public House which was believed to be a bridge located over a previous mill fleam. As a result of these discoveries it was decided that the new barn building would be moved 3m to the east, enabling all the discoveries to be preserved in situ.
