Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of an access ramp along the northern side of the property. Excavations revealed an undated pit cut directly into the bedrock chalk and sealed by a levelling layer lain down in advance of the construction of what appeared to be the Great Hall of Guildford Castle. Perhaps the most prominent remains of this complex were those of the western external wall - a massive construction measuring a full two metres in width. A small internal wall to the east served to delineate at least two rooms within the building and the mortar bedding from a probable robbed tile floor was found within both rooms. The abandonment of the structure appeared to have been a piecemeal affair with the probable survival of the western room after the deliberate destruction of the eastern room. Two post holes which post-dated the disuse of the Great Hall most likely represented scaffold bases related to the 19th century construction of the present building that stood on the site. These were sealed by a substantial sequence of made ground of comparable date. [Au(abr)]
