Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation and evaluation was undertaken on the cascade in Bushy Park Water Garden, in advance and during restoration work. The aim of the restoration project was to recreate the cascade's original, early 18th century form as accurately as was reasonably practicable given the constraints of the archaeological evidence. Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. was therefore contracted to undertake a series trial trenches prior to commencement of building work, in order to provide feedback to the design team. After the trial trenches were completed, demolition and building work on the cascade began. This was monitored on an intermittent basis by Pre-Construct Archeology Ltd. as a watching brief. The renovation became a dynamic process, as the watching brief yielded further evidence that would become key to the structure's final design. |
