Abstract:		 A watching brief took place during excavation of three trial pits, located in the open space to the west of St Nicholas Cole Abbey Church and on the pavement of Queen Victoria Street to the south. The site lies on a south-facing (but now terraced) slope some 350m to the north of the Thames, at a height of approximately 12.5m OD and within an Area of Archaeological Potential. The Church itself was rebuilt after the Great Fire ( and more recently restored after wartime damage) and is Listed Grade I. The two pits located just west of the Church did not did not progress beyond superficial clearance to expose a post-war reinforced concrete base, at roughly present ground level. The third pit on Queen Victoria Street was dug to a depth of 2 to 3m: most of the area comprised an earlier/mid 19th century brick-built coal cellar with partially extant vaulted roof, which would have gone out of use when Queen Victoria Street was constructed in the late 1860s. In section to north of this were medieval remains, including a north-south masonry feature that was interpreted as one side of a stone-lined pit or tank. This survived to a height of c 760mm, and was abutted to the east by stratified deposits dated to the mid-later 15th century. There was no evidence for burials or human remains, so it is likely that this area lay just outside the historic Churchyard.
