  I thought a few people might be interested in this. The links from

Subject: Anglo-Saxon Canterbury Cathedral excavated

A major Anglo-Saxon cathedral has been revealed - directly under the
flagstones of the nave of Canterbury Cathedral. To everyone's surprise, the
Anglo-Saxon Cathedral was almost as big as its Norman successor.

The discovery was made in the course of a major project to re-floor the nave
of Canterbury Cathedral. The nave is one of the great glories of
perpendicular architecture, built by Henry Yevele from 1377 to 1405, but the
floor paving had become broken and even dangerous and so the Dean and
Chapter wanted to replace it and at the same time install a new heating
system as well as ducts for modern services. They therefore called in the
Canterbury Archaeological Trust under the direction of Paul Bennett and
Kevin Blockley to carry out the work, with Martin Biddle, the cathedral
archaeologist as their consultant.
