Abstract: |
This report describes the results of archaeological monitoring carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on Canonry House drive, Ely, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 541 801) on 20th-21st August 2014. The archaeological monitoring was commissioned by King's School, Ely in response to a condition attached to consent provided by Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England. The aim of the work was to record any archaeology revealed by the works. The monitoring identified a demolition layer and wall in the western end of the trench. This is located within the proposed line of the eastern range of Ely cloister and may relate to the demolition of this range following the dissolution of the monastery in AD 1539. The results of the fieldwork enhance our understanding of the layout of the monastic buildings of Ely Cathedral at the time of the Dissolution and can be characterised as being of local significance. |
