| Abstract: |
The laying of a new water main presented the first opportunity to record the below ground remains of the medieval monastery at Durford Abbey Farm, little or nothing of which was thought to survive above ground. The foundations for the Abbey church were revealed at a surprisingly shallow depth, in places protruding from the ground. To the north the monastery graveyard was crossed, with six graves visible in the sides of the water main trench. To the south a few possible additional medieval features were found. Evidence was also recovered for the post-medieval use of the site, involving several phases of re-building of what was the Abbot's lodgings and the re-development of the rest of the monastery into a farm. |
