Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief and test pitting evaluation was carried out at St Andrews Cathedral in advance of and during piling activities designed to support an unstable wall. The trenches were placed to in order to identify the alignment of a stone culvert which had been found in a previous phase of work. The drain was not found in either of the test pits and it can only be assumed that the drain did not continue along this alignment as projected. In addition, two boreholes were monitored in order to gain a broad understanding of the stratigraphic sequence of this part of the site. However, due to the methodology, only a very general understanding of the stratigraphic sequence was obtained. A second phase of work was carried out through the excavation of six pile caps at St Andrews Cathedral in advance of piling activities designed to support an unstable wall. The pile cap trenches were for piling works being undertaken to support an unstable wall. Each trench measured c.1.7m x 0.8m x 0.6m deep. The trenches revealed little and most of the deposits found were banking material or heavily disturbed deposits due to the extensive rooting of nearby trees.
