Excavation and architectural analysis of the ruins of Sawley Abbey since 1977 has recovered a substantial series of timber temporary buildings (the most extensive known on any Cistercian site), and defined for the first time the development of a junior house within the family of Fountains. Considerable evidence was also recovered of a complex piped water supply first installed at the foundation and maintained throughout the life of the abbey. The slow development of the cloister ranges between c. 1170 and c. 1220 demonstrated for the first time the process by which a small Cistercian monastery was developed. The cultural collections from the site were exceptional.
