Abstract
HAMPSHIRE: WINCHESTER (SU/483293). Excavations by Mr. Biddle for the Winchester Excavations Committee at Cathedral Green showed that a great part of the Green north of the choir and retro-choir of the Cathedral had been raised in level during the post-medieval period. This heightening consisted of a long sequence of alternating rubble/rubbish layers and old turflines, and may suggest that the area was periodically used for works in connection with the cathedral fabric, the ground being subsequently tidied up on each occasion. A useful stratified series of fme and coarse wares was recovered. From the mid 18th century onwards the area was increasingly used for burial, as the main part of the cemetery farther west extended in this direction.
