Abstract: Archenfield Archaeology, in association with the Hereford Cathedral Archaeologist, Ron Shoesmith, was commissioned to undertake the monitoring of groundwork in the courtyard of the Bishop’s Palace. The purpose was to increase the car parking capacity by reducing the lawn size and inserting new drainage, tarmac and kerbstones. As the area is of historical importance, it was considered that archaeological deposits could be present even at a shallow depth. The groundwork began on the 17th October 2005 and followed the specifications laid out in the plan by the architects, Hook Mason. Work was interrupted by the discovery of a subterranean chamber made of stone and brick and a series of stone culverts. The exact purpose of the chamber is uncertain, it could be an 18th or 19th century ice house or simply an underground structure associated with drainage.
