Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation consisting of six trenches measuring between 3.0m and 10.2m in length was undertaken on a 989.1m2 area of land near the centre of Royston, Hertfordshire. Numerous features relating to four distinct phases of activity were encountered. The earliest elements in this sequence were associated with an Augustinian priory founded on the site in 1184; remnants of probable claustral structures were identified from this period, along with at least four burials. Following the Dissolution of the priory in 1537, a manor house was established that appears to have reused several of the earlier monastic buildings. Part of its western range and a probable lodge-house were investigated. After the construction of a new timber-framed mansion in the early 17th century the area was extensively landscaped, before finally being put to horticultural use during the 19th century.
