Abstract:		 This report describes the results of archaeological monitoring carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology in The Old Library, Ely Cathedral, Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB7 4DL (centred on NGR TL 54129 80230) on 24th February 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Philip Dixon Associates prior to the construction of a mezzanine floor. The aim of the work was to monitor and record any archaeological remains which would be damaged or destroyed by the new development. The archaeological monitoring identified mortar and stone foundation layers for the construction of the first two eastern bays for use as chapels in the 12th century. Two layers of made ground and a limewash screed appear to relate to the levelling and possible tiling of the floors in the later medieval or post-medieval periods. The last main phase of activity seen related to the conversion of the two chapels into one large cell by demolishing the dividing wall and constructing a new timber floor supported by brick dwarf sleeper walls. This is likely to have occurred in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
