Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation consisted of an evaluation, several excavations and several watching briefs that took place within Poets' Corner Yard at Westminster Abbey between 24th September 2012 and 8th April 2018. Despite a moderate degree of truncation a near complete archaeological sequence was revealed in the course of the investigation. Natural sand was overlain by land reclamation deposits followed by early medieval activity including a monastic burial ground. The burial ground was superseded by the medieval foundations of various parts of the Abbey and its development including the building of the South Transept, the Chapter House and various chapels. A further phase of burials in the early post-medieval period was succeeded by a series of new properties and finally by 19th century restoration works and 19th century and modern service runs, principally drainage.
