NN 843 179 Machine and hand excavations beside the western boundary wall of the formal gardens show that the base wall has been partly buried by soil accumulation, and originally stood at the foot of a gentle but substantial slope, functioning in effect as a ha-ha. The excavation also revealed two spurious wall foundations, in fact natural glacial features, composed of iron-rich green sandstone rubble. The sandstone delaminates in curved sheets resembling prehistoric pottery, adding a further trap for the unwary.
