Description

During renovations to the grounds of Beeleigh Abbey it was noted that a substantial brick footing had been exposed on the east side of the Abbey Cottage. This was investigated by a small open area excavation to determine its relationship to the present and past buildings and to estimate its age. A sondage was dug in the south-east corner to establish the depth of the footing.
