Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of house extensions and stable refurbishment. The significance of the site was derived from the fact it lay within the boundary of an 11th century priory. St Andrew's Church, to the east, and earthworks on the remaining three sides of the site were the visible remains of the priory. Trench 1 revealed a single undated pit and a Victorian wall. Trench 2 revealed a section through a bank which appeared to be part of an earthwork associated with the priory. The bank ran on a north-east/south-west alignment and may have related to a canal and a docking area. The bank sealed an undated ditch that ran on an east-west alignment. Trench 3 revealed a post-medieval pit and a ditch that ran on a north-south alignment. A medieval architectural fragment was recovered from the ditch. This work represented the first intrusive archaeological investigation of Swavesey Priory and the associated earthworks and produced significant findings. Observation of the foundation trenches for the extension to the main house revealed another ditch, running obliquely beneath the current back wall. This feature was orientated on the same general alignment as the surviving priory earthworks and suggested the continuation of a known enclosure. [Au(abr)]
