Watching Brief (20 February 2024 - 22 February 2024)
NJ 72276 12557 (Centred) Cameron Archaeology conducted a watching brief over groundbreaking works for the installation of cable ducting.
Twelve trenches were excavated between the West Lodge and Gardener’s Cottage. Deposits of building rubble were located beneath driveways and grassed areas though none could be ascribed the demolition of structures in situ. Three ceramic drains were exposed in the courtyard between the Stables and W Stable Block and a further 3 drains were located in other trenches. The foundation of a drystone wall was found ENE of the Walled Garden which may correspond to a feature depicted on the 1st edition OS map.
