Full Description
March 1989. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of machine dug pipe trench. The trench was aligned west to east and ran immediately north of north transept between Cathedral and Bishops garden. It followed the course of an earlier cast-iron pipe (which had removed deposits to about 1m).
Dumped deposits of mortar and flint, human bone observed on spoil heap probably from articulated burials.
Masonry (mortar and flint) in section opposite eastern portal of north door. Presumably part of east wall of 'Bishop Wakerig's Cloister' (0.6 wide by 0.8m deep).
Foundation of bonded gravel/loam and sand loam.
See site records in file for further details.
J. Bown (NAU), 20 March 1991. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 19 April 2016.
