Abstract:		 <summary>An excavation and watching brief were undertaken on behalf of the Crown Estate in the small area between the Countess of Huntingdon Hall and the Crowngate Development. This project revealed a large, high status medieval sandstone building, interpreted as a first floor hall of probable late 12th century date. Part of the west and south walls of the building were observed, along with extensive deposits of sandstone rubble relating to the demolition and robbing of the building in the later 16th century. At the south-east corner of the building, three sides of a garderobe tower survived, as well as deposits filling it relating to its last use in the 16th century. The building was c11.5m long and had the garderobe tower to its rear. The hall may have been of stone like its basement, but could equally have been timber-framed. Evidence from the demolition debris suggests that the windows were glazed and that the roof was tiled, probably by the latter half of the 15th century. Floors abutting the west wall suggest that a timber-framed building was built up against it and fronted onto the street. {italon}Sec(21c) {italoff}(amended) {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM3899
