Abstract:		 An archaeological Watching Brief was maintained in Cordery Road during the replacement of a gas main, in the area of the former medieval Cowick priory. The church for this priory is believed to have been situated to the south of house number 23 and west of the flats 45 - 103. Burials were encountered in the area in the 19th century. Forty-seven pits ranging in size from 0.7 x 0.7 x 0.65m deep to 1.9 x 0.82 x 1m deep, were excavated on the line of the existing main. Three trenches were also dug, two at the junction of Larch Road (Trench 1 and 2: c. 4 x 1.3 x 1.3m deep, and Trench 3, extending from pit 10 - 13, c. 80 x 0.3 x 0.8m deep. The pits exposed ground heavily disturbed by modern services. No undisturbed sections were exposed. Three fragments of human bone (arm) were noted in the spoil from pit 25. Trench 1 and 2 were also heavily disturbed by modern services and no undisturbed sections were exposed. Although burials were encountered in the area in the 19th century, they were not precisely located. This watching brief provides the first modern record which establishes the position of the cemetery of Cowick Priory.
