Description
AC archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by means of six hand excavated test pits in advance of the construction of the proposed new museum building at Shaftesbury Abbey during 1993.
The excavations revealed considerable post-medieval disturbance, as well as traces of robbed cloister walls. A number of burials were also recorded within the eastern end of the cloister garth [1].
