NO 0087 4178 A general micro-topographic survey of the former garden area surrounding Ossian’s Hall, with particular mapping of features that may have related to former rock gardens and water works (topographic work by Mason Land surveys Ltd).

A limited archaeological evaluation exercise attempted to locate evidence for water systems associated with the grotto to the SE of Ossian’s Hall (see DES 2004). No substantial features were identified.

In the wider Hermitage Gardens detailed records were made of other major features to the NW of the main survey area Ossian’s Cave and Ossian’s Seat.
