Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A community excavation involving 302 volunteers and 201 primary school children was undertaken at Peterborough Cathedral in the summer of 2016. The investigation took place in the northwest corner of the historic precinct, within the grounds of Garden House. Here fourteen trenches were excavated and five phases of activity identified, the earliest of which was Roman in date. Although the environment of the site itself was determined to have been wet and inhospitable at this time, evidence of Late Roman occupation was identified in the immediate vicinity. The area subsequently remained wet and marginal until the 12th century, when it was incorporated into the expanding precinct of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter. Localised reclamation works were undertaken at this time and a large fishpond (potentially one of several) established. Yet the overall level of activity remained minimal until the mid-17th century, when a second phase of reclamation commenced. Substantial quantities of domestic refuse were imported into the southwest portion of the site at this time, including detritus that was potentially generated during the parliamentary occupation of the cathedral precincts in 1643. Then, from the early 18th century onwards, the area became increasingly landscaped; the large pond was infilled in the early 19th century and a formal garden established, associated with the adjacent Deanery. Finally, a substantial clearance assemblage of early 20th-century household waste was recovered from a probable planting bed.
