Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological investigations was undertaken prior to remedial and repair works to the Hermitage and Temple in Mells Park. The Hermitage was built in c.1762b and constructed of water worn limestone, which was found to be elliptical in plan and cut into a semi-circular recess cut into a former probable quarry face. The Temple was the focus of the main vista from Park House, with a dual aspect and a north fa#ade comprising that of a neo-classical temple with a colonnade and triangular pediment, enclosing recessed niches and a flanked doorway. A number of features appearing on the original Thomas Horner's plan were identified and recorded. The general absence of large architectural fragments was the result of a deliberate programme of salvage. This appeared to have been a single episode post-dating the abandonment of the Temple during the late 18th century. [Au(adp)]
