Summary

See Also: 'London Archaeologist Round-up 2000': The site lies within the boundaries of the Winchester Palace Scheduled Ancient Monument. The S wall, the central foundation and, in particular, the W wall of the palace were located, enabling the full dimensions of the palace to be calculated. The walls of the palace had been extensively re-used as the service range was converted into tenements. All floor levels within the palace had been truncated during the construction of a flourmill after a fire in 1814. Extensive post-medieval dumps were recorded in the area that had formed the kitchen garden of the palace and above which were the remains of 7 small tenement houses built in the 17th c.

See Also: 'London Archaeologist Round-up 2002': Ground works and pile locations were monitored as the ground was reduced and the S wall of the service range of the medieval Bishop of Winchester's Palace, a Scheduled Monument, was exposed. A previously unidentified internal partition wall was noted just below the ground surface.
