Abstract:		 Extensive archaeological excavations were conducted in advance of the installation of a new heating and electrical system for -the Cathedral. Trenches were located where new ducts were to be installed below the floor in the nave, the choir, the crypt and the session room. These trenches produced evidence for both of the documented twelfth-century cathedrals which preceded the existing building. The early cathedrals were represented by in situ masonry and decorated fragments of masonry re-used in the thirteenth-century works. Traces of activity pre-dating the thirteenth century were discovered in the west end of the nave and structural evidence for the internal divisions of the post--Reformation use of the nave was also recovered. Seventy-seven burials were excavated and evidence for burial pre-dating the twelfth-century cathedral was recovered in the nave. Apart from architectural fragments and coffin fittings, finds were scarce. The most significant were two massive medieval bronze mortars and an iron pestle.
