Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to assess the impact of proposed developments both within and outside of the church on the archaeology of the site. Excavation of a single test pit inside the church against the north wall of the nave suggested that the wall represented a rebuild over an earlier foundation, possibly of Anglo-Saxon date. Three trial trenches were dug immediately outside and to the north of the church, in the former position of the monastic cloister (now the Cloister Garden). These showed that archaeological levels survived under modern overburden at a depth of c.1-1.2m below the existing surface level. Probable Roman or Anglo-Saxon deposits were identified in two of the trenches, and the ceramic assemblage was dominated by Romano-British pottery. Medieval horizons were restricted in extent, but appeared to represent a series of make-up or bedding layers for floor surfaces within the south cloister walk and possibly within a passage through the east walk into the central garth. The positions of the south and east walks appeared to be defined by foundation and robber trenches. At least five graves were also revealed and the skeletons within them exposed (but not removed). Most of the graves probably belonged to the monastic (medieval) period, but one of them (and perhaps more) could have post-dated the Dissolution of the abbey. [Au(abr)]
