Abstract:		 The works comprised the removal of the existing retaining wall forming the southern side of Abbey Water and its replacement on a new foundation.The watching brief identified evidence for archaeological features, deposits and finds surviving behind the existing retaining wall and below the adjacent road. Of primary interest was the presence of a number of graves. Although it was not possible to fully investigate the graves and no clear dating evidence for them was found, they may be associated with the burials previously recorded to the north of Abbey Water, which have been assigned a broad middle to late Saxon date. If so, the course of Abbey Water may not represent the southern extent of the late Saxon Abbey precinct, as previously suggested. No direct evidence for the medieval channel 'Shitlake' was noted during the watching brief. A possible channel, indicated by the presence of alluvial deposits, was noted towards the eastern end of the trench however, c. 5 m west of the point at which the existing course of Abbey Water turns from north-south to run east-west.
