Abstract:		 The archaeological investigations at the Chapter House constituted an archaeological excavation in the proposed position of a new lift pit and an archaeological watching brief on associated drainage beneath the basement slab. The archaeological sequence in the Chapter House lift pit excavation showed early medieval garden soil succeeded by several layers of sand and silt containing a large amount of burnt material. These deposits were truncated by the remains of two wall footings and a potential cellar wall, structures which could relate to the medieval Hall of Minor Cannons, that were in turn truncated by the construction cut for the current post-medieval Chapter House walls and modern drainage. The archaeological sequence encountered during the watching brief consisted of a potential post-medieval brick floor beneath the concrete basement slab in the drainage excavation to the east of the lift pit excavation and modern made ground beneath the concrete slab to the west of the lift pit excavation. Natural deposits were not encountered on the site due to the restrictions of the project depths.
