Abstract:		 Between November and December 2017 the Curatorial Department of Historic Royal Palaces undertook a watching brief during the installation of a new below ground IS cable route on Tennis Court Lane and in the Works Yard at Hampton Court Palace. Nowhere did the excavation reach natural strata, and most of the trench was filled with levelling deposits, demolition material and modern services. However, a number of archaeological features of various periods were found to be distributed across the length of the trench. In the Works Yard, beneath an existing late 19th century arch providing access between the eastern and western parts of the Works Yard, a brick foundation wall was revealed, which though composed of 18th/19th century brickwork at the top presented evidence of being built on an earlier Tudor footing. Its location indicates the remains of a wall bordering the eastern edge of the western branch of the post-medieval moat that once enclosed the Tudor Privy Orchard. It was presumably repurposed, repaired and altered in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries as the configuration of the area developed. On Tennis Court Lane between the Works Yard entrance and the Business Reception, the remains of an east-west aligned wall was exposed. This may be the remains of an earlier outbuilding from the mid-19th century. In Area IV, immediately in front of the north elevation of the palace, a tubular brick feature was found on an east-west alignment. It was 1.2m long, and was truncated at both the east and west ends by later brick-built structures. Based on the brick morphology and its overall form, it is likely the remains of a c.18th century foundation drain.
