Abstract: |
Small-scale excavations around the reredorter of the abbey, prior to the erection of a fence, recorded a probable medieval culvert south of the building running to the east. The excavation also identified post-medieval destruction levels and medieval deposits. Pottery finds ranged from the 11th/12th century through to the present day. Erection of a new fence across the field to the east of the reredorter allows some observation of deposits within the field including those constituting the upper levels of the monastic precinct boundary bank. A rim sherd of Romano-British black burnished ware pottery was recovered from an entrance way south-east of the reredorter paddock and the owner of Abbey Farm had handed over two lead objects found in the reredorter paddock for identification.
