NEATH ABBEY 11 Longford Road, Neath

Three evaluation trenches were excavated prior to determination of a planning application for the construction of a bungalow and garage. No features or deposits earlier than the 18th century were present. Part of a stone building of late 18th or early 19th century date was revealed. It had two compartments, separated by a thick cross wall, one of which had been limewashed many times. The function of the building is unknown. Elsewhere on the site were fragmentary remains of a 19th century floor but as there was no associated walling this may have been an external surface. The only other features were an 18th century drainage ditch and an adjacent stone culvert which replaced it.
