On behalf of Ann and Tony Whyte, MOLA were instructed to carry out archaeological recording at Beauvale Priory, Nottinghamshire. The work was concerned with 2 areas ( area A, area B) of investigation previously excavated by the Thoroton Society in 1908, however, the sites were left only partially backfilled. The study was designed to expose sufficient masonry which would allow the conservation and presentation of the 2 areas as part of an existing wider scheme of conservation already in place over the rest of the site – funded by a grant from Historic England. The previously backfilled soils were removed revealing well preserved remains in area A – thought to be the remains of a church and later chapel. The walls found in area B were less well preserved, the report states that some of the masonry is likely have been stolen for building stone. The report concludes “The archaeological recording of two of the 1908 excavations succeeded in elucidating the plan and the sequence of a small portion of the priory. For the southern wall of the church and northernmost chapel (Area A) the sequence and descriptions of the 1908 excavations were broadly correct although it was clear that the eastern range of the Little Cloister post-dated the church. In addition the chapel wall was not keyed in; rather it abutted up against the southern wall of the church”. The east cloister range (Area B) is more complex than the 1908 plan would suggest although later robbing of the walls and the reduction in ground level in this area has meant that the structural his-tory of this part of the building has been lost. It was thought that ‘the 1908 excavation determined that the south wall of the west range extends some 8 m to the east of the range before it returns to the south’(Coppack 2015). Although this seems to be the case, it would appear that the southern wall was more complex and that there are more rooms/buildings in this area than was thought. An unmanned craft took images of the site from above, these and other photos were later used to create a 3D model of the site. The report contains ariel photos taken by the craft, site plans, historic site plans (1908), section drawings and photographs of the trenches and exposed areas.
