NT 2520 7345 Vaults beneath the Great Hall and Queen Anne Building.

A programme of archaeological recording is ongoing within these vaults. The vaults are known to have served as barracks and prison accommodation, and there is some evidence to suggest that they are themselves secondary to the structure, the fabric of which may conceal evidence for an earlier building on this site. Of particular interest is the presence of much18th-century graffiti on the walls and plasterwork of some of the vaults; this is being archaeologically recorded.
