Abstract: |
This report presents the findings of an archaeological evaluation undertaken at Sissinghurst Castle. Two trenches measuring 6.5 metres by 1.2 metres and 5 metres by 1.2 metres were excavated on the lawn opposite Castle Farmhouse, in preparation for the installation of LPG storage tanks. A single demolition deposit dating from the 20th century was identified in trench 2 a deposit possibly dating to the 18th century identified in trench 1. No evidence was found for buildings depicted in 18th century illustrations of the site. No significant archaeological features or deposits were identified with undisturbed natural soil being encountered at 0.3 to 0.5 metres below the present ground surface. |
