An archaeological excavation and watching brief were conducted for Mrs Lowe ahead of building works at Friary Cottage, which included an extension to an outbuilding, a link building and a conservatory. The Cottage lay within the bounds of the historic Carmelite Friary at Burnham Norton, which is a Scheduled Monument (No. 21389). The excavation revealed a sequence of development adjacent to the outbuilding which contained the probable outer wall of the Friary precinct, which was later remodelled prior to the creation of a larger 17th/18th century forerunner of the outbuilding. A thick layer of dumping contained a large amount of 16th to 18th century pottery sherds. The watching brief found several medieval and post-medieval walls and also confirmed that the forerunner to the outbuilding had been a larger building. A medieval pit and well were also observed. This report presents the evidence recovered during the 2010 excavation and watching brief, and provides an Assessment of that information. This is followed by an Updated Project Design which identifies further work considered appropriate to complete the Analysis stage of the project including how the project's results may be disseminated
