NT 548 340 As part of the redesign of the walled garden, a small 'bump' was investigated in order to record its nature and determine its origin. The feature was found largely to be made up of dumps of topsoil, with an ashy layer near the top. Numerous finds were recovered, mostly dating to the 20th century. The feature is interpreted as being a soil and spoil dump of no special significance. Having been recorded in plan and section, the feature is now to be removed.
