Abstract: |
In November 2013, Northamptonshire Archaeology undertook a earthwork survey and targeted trial trenching on the Mound and Bog Garden at Forty Hall, Enfield, Greater London. The works identified the composition of the Mound and augmented earlier works by identifying the presence and survival of the original 18th century paths. The excavations in the Bog Garden only defined one clear edge of the 18th century ornamental pond. It is concluded that during the 20th century the pond was backfilled and used as a domestic waste disposal site for the hall. A later circular wet area or Bog Garden was planted in the 20th century, its western edge, facing the southern pedestrian access into the Park, was defined by large limestone blocks. |
