More information : Substantial foundations of a major Medieval building were located
during salvage excavations in November 1983 by the Canterbury
Archaeological Trust during the construction of a new students
union building. This Medieval building is possibly part of a
cellarers range dating from c1300, which flanked the S side of
the outer court of St Augustine's Abbey. It was probably demolished
to its foundations soon after the Dissolution. (1)
Additional reference - 1983 excavations. (2)
Undercroft floors, parts of the S wall and through passage of the
cellarer's range were examined in 1984 during extension work to the
Students Union. (3)
(TR 15435788 - see illustration card for plan). (4)
All the foundations were subsequently destroyed. (5)
Additional reference. A small timber-framed structure, possibly
a workshop was located against the main N wall of the range. It
was probably built after the principal walls of the Cellarer's
Building had been constructed. (6)
