Summary.
Archaeological monitoring was carried out at the East Gatehouse, St Osyth Priory, The Bury,
St Osyth, Essex during groundworks for creation of a new floor. The site is located within the
East Gatehouse of St Osyth Priory, a medieval priory that was founded in the 12th century. The
works partially exposed a modern brick floor, which comprised both square and rectangular floor
bricks, likely associated with the building’s domestic conversion in the 20th century.
