Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Four window-hole sample test pits (numbered 111,112, 113, 114b) were excavated for geotechnical examination of deposits and three test pits located next to window samples (112, 113, 114b) were excavated for archaeological examination. The test pits measured 1.50m north/south by 1.50m east/west and were excavated to a depth of 1.20m below the present ground level. Previously remains of Stratford Langthorne Priory and associated cemetery had been found to the south. Natural sandy gravel was revealed in all test pits with a mixed dirty probably natural deposit covering this to the south of the site. To the north of the site was an alluvial deposit from which two struck flints were recovered, which may be the fill of a palaeochannel. In the base of test pit [111] an undated ditch cut was observed truncating the alluvial deposit at a depth of 1.20m and was aligned east/west. In test pit 113 a layer of mortar and chalk covered the base of the test pit and appeared to be a surface. In section red brick was laid on top of this layer and this was covered by a layer of tile suggesting this to be the remains of a structure of mid 18th century date. This possible floor was seen at a depth of 1.10m (103.52m OD) below ground level. A series of possible later gravel floors and occupation surfaces was revealed covering a demolition layer. There was a large amount of post-medieval (largely late 17th to 18th century) deposits in all the test pits in the form of made ground. All of the test pits revealed late 20th century raised concrete cable ducts truncating the higher post-medieval deposits. No human remains associated with the cemetery of Stratford Langthorne Priory to the west were revealed. No structures associated with the priory were revealed although early post-medieval bricks which may have originally come from the complex were found to be reused in a later structure.
