NT 269 739 (centred on) A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of ten small holes in the grounds of the palace. These were designed to take permanent survey markers and were located around the S, E and N sides of the palace complex. The holes were hand-excavated and measured 400 x 400mm by 125mm deep. The sandy silt recorded in the holes contained no archaeological features or finds of archaeological significance.
