Abstract: |
A watching brief by Geoff Potter of Compass Archaeology, revealed substantial deposits of made ground associated with development of the site c.1970, plus evidence of previous 20th century activity. Two lines of brick foundations related to a large glasshouse that was constructed on the Addington Palace estate c. 1810-30. Map evidence indicates that this building was over 21m in length and 6m wide, with an adjoining structure to the north that may have contained boilers. The excavated remains related to both areas, and included brick arches c. 1.5m wide that are probably associated with the heating of the glasshouse. There were no earlier finds and the natural ground surface was not exposed. The limit of excavation (19th/20th C fill) was c. 80.2m OD. |
