NT 0020 7734 An archaeological watching brief was maintained in September 2005 at the palace during the installation of new floodlights on the site. Trenches were dug where the existing cables for earlier lights had been laid, in order to cause as little disturbance as possible, and the new cables were laid where the original ones had been buried. No archaeological features or deposits were found in any of the trenches. A layer of concrete was found overlying a pebble layer, which lay on top of the subsoil.

Archive to be deposited in NMRS. Report lodged with local authority and NMRS.
