Description

A continuous monitoring was carried out during the excavation of cable trenches in the carpark of Shire Hall, Bury St Edmunds. The trench ran across the line of the southern precinct wall of the abbey. The trench was excavated through an existing break in the wall to minimise the impact on the monument. The cable trench was 0.5m wide, covered 120m in length and reached a max depth of 0.6m. The continuation of the southern precinct wall of Bury Abbey and two probable 19th century garden walls were found. all of these walls had what is believed to be worked garden soil built up around them (S1).
