Monument record TR 15 NE 111 - Romano-British ditch, pit, furnace, medieval drains and foundations of Cathedral
Summary
A small excavation in 1982 carried out between the north-east transept of the Cathedral and the undercroft of the Prior's Chapel revealed the massive foundation of the north-east transept and an earlier large wall foundation which perhaps relates to the first Norman cathedral erected by Lanfranc (1070-1077). Earlier features included Roman occupation layers and a 7th to 8th century courtyard possibly associated with the Saxon Cathedral.
