Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was performed at the site of the Alan Garner Building, Old Hall Street, Wolverhampton (NGR SO 916 983) in February-May 2007. The work was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology on behalf of Wolverhampton City Council. The watching brief was required by the Black Country Archaeologist, during development works within the Alan Garner Building. The site lies within the area of a known Elizabethan Great Hall, with the development suspected to be positioned over the south-western corner of the moat associated with the Great Hall, as indicated by prior excavations in the area (Cuttler and Ramsey 2005). Four trenches for mass concrete bases and the underpinning of existing walls were excavated. One further trench, measuring 2.10 x 5m was excavated for the emplacement of a lift shaft. Archaeological observation and recording demonstrated the presence of preserved basal portions of the western arm of the moat in the area of the lift shaft and subsequent later moat infilling in two (potentially three) of the foundation trenches. Additionally, material possibly associated with a inner curtain wall from the moat was identified, and the stratigraphic sequence associated with the construction of the current 20th century building observed.
