Abstract:
This paper presents a report that was drafted in the late 1980s or early 1990s, with some additional input. Fieldwork comprised six test excavations designed to assess the structural integrity of the foundations of Carlisle Cathedral at the south and west sides of the nave and choir. The excavations distinguished Norman work from 13th-14th century rebuilding and identified the position of the south wall of the Norman choir. Loose finds hinted at the character of some of the floor tiling within the medieval cathedral and also suggested that some of the tiles might have been made within the Abbey precinct. Several burials were observed. A radiocarbon date for one of these indicated burial prior to about 850 AD, suggesting the possibility of an early ecclesiastical site below the Cathedral precinct. However, the value of this date is queried. Au/LD
