Abstract:		 Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, founded in 1245, was one of the last Cistercian houses to be established in England. To the south-east of the surviving claustral buildings is a large, rectangular area, thought to be a former pond. The nature of the 'pond' was unclear, as was the survival of any remains of the monastic culvert and associated structures in the area which are not currently exposed. The discovery of part of a masonry-revetted dam and the sediments observed in a test pit demonstrate conclusively that the 'pond' was an artificial water body. Radiocarbon dates from near the bottom of the sediment sequence show that the pond was medieval in date. The pond probably dried out or silted up rapidly following the Dissolution and no longer existed by the late 16th century. Significant archaeological remains survive very near the surface immediately to the south-east of the standing remains of the abbey. The culvert does survive and continues further to the south-east, towards the pond. It is recommended that any flood mitigation works at Hailes Abbey be preceded by controlled archaeological excavation to recover artefactual and environmental evidence and record any features that would be affected by those works.
