Abstract:
A geophysical survey was undertaken in order to investigate the extent and character of any surviving subsurface remains of the medieval and Tudor buildings of Elsyng Palace, the site of which lay in the park at Forty Hall. Magnetometer and resistivity surveys were carried out across much of the park. The two surveys produced results of considerable complexity. The findings included buried structures, together with drains, former roads or paths, and other landscape features. The results also identified substantial area of the park which were likely to be comparatively free of archaeological remains. The location of the main buildings appears to be approximately as expected on the basis of existing trenching and survey evidence, but there were additional previously unrecorded features in other parts of the site. The main centre of activity was towards the north of the park in the vicinity of the 1960s excavation, but there appeared to be a moated enclosure, probably containiing buildings, extending towards the north-west corner of the site. There was also evidence for other structural remains near woodland towards the south-east of the park, and of an approach road to the main palace buildings from Forty Hill. [Au]
