Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of archaeological monitoring work was undertaken on behalf of the Trustees of Launde Abbey between May and August 2009. The poor condition of the Ha-ha wall meant that it required substantial rebuilding in a number of places. Because the area it encloses is part of a scheduled ancient monument DCMS (advised by English Heritage) and the Senior Planning Archaeologist for Leicestershire County Council requested that monitoring work take place during restoration. This work follows on from earlier evaluation work around the Ha-ha in 2007 which identified the presence of the Priory walls extending from the present building beyond the western extent of the Ha-ha. The work revealed the Ha-ha wall to be constructed of a single skin of coursed stone rubble some of which had been well dressed whilst others showed clear chisel marks. Only one piece of worked stone was recovered. No further evidence of the Priory was seen and the infill behind the Ha-ha wall appears to consist of backfilled stone rubble and soil which may or may not relate to demolition material from the Priory. As another part of the redevelopment programme a small timber structure dating from the early 20th century, known as the Oxford and Cambridge Building, was relocated. This required the excavation of a shallow foundation trench for new footings. No archaeological features were found within this trench.
