Abstract: |
The watching brief and excavation were undertaken during alterations to Hostel House and the Old Library. Deposits were revealed possibly fills of a ditch or pit, dated to the Roman period. However, due to the limited nature of the excavation all that could be concluded was that probably some sort of settlement was on the site or near to it. Sandstone walls that were uncovered probably formed part of a substantial range of buildings in the medieval period, perhaps the stables mentioned by Eill in 1863. The sandstone wall, which underlay the precinct wall, may have been built when the precinct boundary was reinstated after 1217. During the post-medieval period parts of the site were used the Registrar's Office and as the Dean's coach house and some of the brick features excavated, notably a well, were probably associated with one or both of these complexes.
