Denny Abbey, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire

On 28th and 29th July 2011, Oxford Archaeology East carried out a test pit evaluation within the Scheduled Monument of Denny Abbey (SM 13219), Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire. This was carried out in advance of the proposed construction of an extension to a children's play area. One test pit revealed only rubble dating to the 19th century or later. The second test pit contained a wall, which was overlain by a layer of rubble, possibly of 16th century date. This wall is likely to be medieval and potentially represents part of the remains of an annex to the refectory building, which still stands on the site.
