Abstract: |
An Archaeological Evaluation was conducted at various locations at Kensington Palace by Pre-Construct Archaeology. Five Test Pits and two Evaluation trenches were opened. The natural sands were observed in the base of Test Pits 3,4, 8 and Trenches 8 and 10. Trench 10 revealed a brick drain culvert dated to the late 17th-early 18th century, possibly part of Wren's alterations to the Palace. All other features exposed related to the 19th century or modern intrusions. |
