Archaeological fieldwork on the old garage site on Bridge Street, Kelso, has revealed the extensive and well-preserved remains of buildings associated with the Abbey precinct. A series of large, substantial structures lay immediately to the west of the site of the cloister's west range. Pottery from the site includes stratified examples of an early pink Gritty Ware, similar to that found in early levels at Jedburgh. A rare condiment dish, possibly thirteenth-century in date, was also found. Evidence of copper-based alloy working was also identified. Two principal phases of construction were identified, separated by a major reorganisation and landscaping of the site, in perhaps the late-thirteenth or early-fourteenth century. One of the later buildings is tentatively identified as the monastic granary. There are indications that this part of the precinct was possibly abandoned prior to the Dissolution in the late-sixteenth century. Forming part of the later glebe lands, the area ...

Yet the reconstructions of spatial arrangements of almonry sites conjectural, and based, necessarily, on minimal evidence. There has, speculation as to whether the identification of the 'almonry' at indeed correct, or whether the building was not on the site of the o suggested by a post-Dissolution survey.7 Also, the two almonri Cathedral Priory and St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury (both B located immediately without the main gates of each house, but lack archaeological or documentary evidence means that there can be only of spatial reconstruction of the sites.8 Even when there is much surv
The Reuse of Monastic Materials in Post-Dissolution Contexts at Thornton Abbey
During the Reformation Period in England, many monasteries were dissolved as a way to remove the Catholic influence from the country. Building materials were removed from the empty monasteries and reused to build new structures on the site and in the area. The University of Sheffield conducted excavations in 2011 and 2012 at Thornton Abbey and found this period well-represented in the archaeological record. While working on the excavation with Sheffield, I conducted independent research; looking at Thornton Abbey as an example of reuse of building materials in the archaeological record. I investigated reuse by looking for monastic church stone and bricks in post-medieval, secular contexts unearthed during excavation. I also attempted to date the bricks by size and look for occurrences of mixed dates as evidence of using materials from previous dates in later contexts. The evidence collected from the excavations were compared against bricks and masonry still standing on the site and in the surrounding areas.
Excavation of the medieval waterfront at King Stable Street, Eton, Berkshire
The Oxford Archaeological Unit (OAU) carried out an excavation in 1997 on a site alongside the north bank of the Thames in King Stable Street, Eton, Berkshire, on behalf of Eton College. The evidence indicated that the site probably served as a working area for properties fronting the approach (later High Street) to the north side of Windsor Bridge from the 12th century onwards. Evidence was also found of a succession of timber revetments constructed to consolidate the riverbank, although these were evidently lightweight constructions, and did not serve as major wharfage.
Watching brief on the site of Eynsham Abbey grange
2012
John Moore Heritage Services carried out a watching brief during groundworks at Abbey Farm, Station Road, during which the former agricultural barns were converted to domestic units. A range of archaeological remains comprising potentially Roman activity, as well as a medieval road and cobbled surfaces, a number of walls indicating the former existence of buildings, in addition to ditches and pits were present. Possible burgage plots contained pits and postholes, although it is not clear whether these are indicative of occupation predating the absorption of this part of the village of Eynsham into the abbey precinct at the beginning of the 14th century.
