Abstract:		 In April of 2014 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd undertook the excavation of five test pits within the Receiver General's garden at No. 2 The Cloister, Westminster Abbey, London. The courtyard garden is contained entirely within the shell of the 11th century monastic refectory. The walls defining the site to the north and south are of 11th century date while the wall forming the eastern boundary was a 14th century partition and the western boundary was defined by the east wall of the Receiver General's house, which was of 18th century date. The archaeological investigation was carried out in order to inform on the nature and extent of the footings for the bounding walls as well as to determine the archaeological potential and level of survival within the site. During the investigation it was discovered that at least part of the west end of the south wall of the 11th century refectory stood on an earlier footing. The investigation also uncovered the level of the foundation offset and the junction between the walls and footings of the refectory walls, which allowed the 11th century floor level to be estimated at between 3.29m OD and 3.49m OD. Evidence for the partial demolition of the refectory in the mid-16th century was also recorded as were deposits and structural remains pertaining to the successive redevelopment of the site in the 18th, mid-19th and mid-20th century.
