Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Videotext Communications Ltd to carry out archaeological recording and post-excavation analysis on an archaeological evaluation by Channel 4's 'Time Team' on King Charles II's Royal Palace and racing stables in Newmarket, centred on NGR 564450 263350. The current Palace House Mansion and entrance steps are Grade II* listed and the Palace House Stables are Grade II. The Palace was thought to have been constructed in 1671 by Charles II, although James I appears to have built a Palace within the near vicinity in 1608 (the exact location of which is now lost), and a second residence in 1614. Previous archaeological work on the Site has included an evaluation that revealed culverts associated with Charles II's Palace, and at least three late medieval or post-medieval buildings. Further investigations uncovered more brick culverts, while a later watching brief recorded a wall with a built-in well, associated with the Palace complex. |
