Abstract: |
The watching brief monitored the excavation of a small trench for a new drainage pipe connecting the crypt of St Peter with the existing drainage system in the Inner Ward and also the installation of five hatches in the lead roof of the chapel itself. Deposits related to the demolition of the old store houses prior to the construction of the Grand Storehouse in 1688-91 were observed.The watching brief also examined a small part of the foundations of the east wall of the crypt exposed in the drainage trench. The watching brief during the installation of the roof hatches demonstrated that at least three phases of roof timbers survived. |
