Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was required to record potential archaeological deposits associated with excavation of a ground source heating system which involves the excavation of a pipe trench from Castle Howard's North Lake (Dairy Pond) to the House's north elevation. The work has revealed: a revetment wall, c. AD 1700 part of the the architect's (Vanbrugh) original design with; subsequent levelling and dumping deposits; a carved limestone Cascade in the Dairy Pond (North Lake); a subterranean pump house and: a continual sequence of geological lake sediments. Residual Medieval pottery was recovered from unstratified deposits. No Post-Medieval or earlier features were revealed during the excavation works. |
