Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on a site where it was proposed to demolish some upstanding structures and build a new extension. The results were particularly rewarding considering the small area available for examination. Beneath layers of made-ground, old topsoil and demolition deposits of late post-medieval date, were a series of earthen and chalk floors, a probable flint and chalk wall, a posthole, a hearth and possible flint nodule postpads. One of these deposits produced pottery of 12th-13th century date. From within the overlying layers of made-ground were a number of tiles of medieval date which almost certainly originated from Abbey buildings in the area. While it was clear that medieval deposits were unearthed and that several related to structures, it was not clear what the deposits represented in terms of identifiable buildings belonging to the Abbey complex.
