Abstract:		 The project was undertaken in response to the ongoing restoration program at Witley Court, in this case the west wing. Archaeological Investigations Ltd was commissioned by English Heritage to undertake the monitoring of excavations within this part of the building. The aims of the project were to enable archaeological features to be identified or protected in the areas affected by the proposal. The rooms were numbered 1-4 from the south to north along the west wing. Loose pieces of moulded masonary were found in three of the four rooms where excavations were undertaken. A large amount of masonary found in rooms 1 and 4 was identified as dating to the later 17th century. Some stone from room 1 remains unidentified while pieces of Bath stone from rooms 3 and 4 dated to the late 18th or 19th centuries. A moulded timber lintel from the doorway of rooms 1 and 2 was recorded by scale drawings as were the doorway jambs between room 1 and the stair tower. Raised brick and stone ledges located along the west and east walls of room 4 incorporated pieces of 17th century masonary. Brick and stone pads were located in rooms 2 and 4, which may have related to timber floors in the 19th century. Pottery, glass and other finds from the excavations all dated to the 19th century and later.
