Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations were conducted by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. at several sites within Royal Clarence Yard, in advance of their redevelopment in to residential and commercial properties. Gifford, on behalf of Berkeley Homes (Southern) Ltd., commissioned the work. The works comprised test trenches designed to evaluate any surviving remains followed by a 'strip, map and sample' excavation of the footprints of new buildings. Substantial structural remains were encountered following the digging of test trenches across the site in July and August 2007. The results from the evaluation suggested the presence of several phases of building in a good state of preservation. Initial observations of what appeared to be a large truncation recorded by an absence of archaeological remains in the northwest of the Phase C area actually represented the backfilling of a large reservoir with demolition material. Several phases of building were observed and relate to the storage of provisions for the navy, particularly beer from the earliest breweries established by Captain Henry Player at the end of the 17th century. Dominant amongst later foundations were those of a large storehouse that was built to represent a mirror image of the current day granary, mill and bakery complex that still stands to the north. This was built upon land reclaimed from the sea. Although the naval beer ration ceased in the 1830s, the purpose built stores were retained and amended to store other materials. A large structure was built to the west of this building for the storage of salt meat. The space between the two large buildings would eventually be joined to create a covered storage area. This phase of works follows on from previous archaeological investigations carried out by PCA at the historic Victualling Yard.
