Monument record TR 15 NE 292 - The Great Court St Augustine's Abbey
Summary
Eleventh to 12th century courtyard at St Augustine's Abbey enlarged during the late 13th century when the main service buildings were relocated in an outer court to the north. Excavations have suggested that during the Roman period the area may have been used as a cemetery but by the middle Saxon to early medieval periods the area was used as an extra mural agricultural area. A large number of pits and gullies associated with industrial activity were also found pre-dating the laying of the outer court metalling
