P244-6 HAMPSHIRE: CHRISTCHURCH (SZ 161924). Excavation on behalf of the Bournemouth Archaeological Society by M. Ridley at the Augustinian priory, adjacent to the mill-stream SW. of the priory church, has revealed two walls which ran E.-W. down the [p246] banks from the Priory House. These joined the precinct wall which ran N.-S. for a distance of over 90 ft. The remains of a garderobe were also found adjoining the precinct wall; both appear to date from the 11th century. From waterlogged levels in this garderobe a number of objects including organic material such as leather and the remains of food have been recovered. Farther N. where the precinct wall changed course there is evidence to suggest the remains of a 14th-century bridge. Pottery of all periods has been found, both glazed including imports from France, Germany and Spain, and coarse ware. A knife-handle and two 14th-century jettons have also been found.
