Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was conducted on the footprint of a proposed extension to the Almonry Restaurant within the precinct of Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire. The work comprised the area excavation of all archaeological deposits within the area of the footprint prior to the commencement of development works. The excavation revealed a number of features of possible Late Saxon date including a number of postholes indicating one or more timber structures and an extensive linear feature indicating a large perimeter ditch or terracing at the edge of the early precinct perimeter. The area was later occupied by a large medieval masonry building that was constructed over three phases of development. It was thought likely that the masonry remains were from a gatehouse that linked the Cathedral Precinct with the market place to the north. Contemporary activity including the construction of further timber structures and pit digging was also detected. In the post-medieval period the masonry structure was largely robbed for building activity elsewhere and much of the northern part of the excavation area was dominated by a series of pits of 16th- to 18th-century date. A drainage ditch was excavated in the area in the 19th century and activity on the site has continued up to the present day.
