Abstract:		 The aim of the apse and treasury ramps installation, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the wider Peterborough 900 project, was to improve access to parts of the cathedral previously only accessible by steps. To achieve this aim, areas of existing paving, including one ledger slab, and their bedding, were lifted and replaced with suitable (limecrete) foundations and paved ramps with handrails; the ledger was moved to a nearby location. In the area of the treasury, only 1920s/30s paving and substantial associated bedding material was observed, with possibly the top of the 12th-century strip foundation; the excavated hole for the new location of the ledger clearly revealed the 12th-century foundation, along with the cut for the removal and rebuild of the crossing tower in the 1880s. In the apse, the new ramp required the removal of the central step, of the three leading from the ambulatory up into the area behind the high altar. In this area, both 12th-century and 16th-century building layers were observed. In the ambulatory, as in the treasury, 1920s/30s paving and substantial associated bedding material was observed, but also the top of the burial earth of the early external or later internal burial ground.
