Abstract: |
Ecus Ltd was commissioned by the National Trust to carry out archaeological monitoring during works at the Icehouse Pond at Gunby Hall, Gunby, Spilsby, Lincolnshire. The works at the site comprised the excavation of a walk around the Icehouse Pond, locating and tracing the course of an earlier walk identified around the pond during previous archaeological test pitting. Where the former walk had been lost to the pond through erosion, a new walk was formed along a parallel alignment. Topsoil stripping was monitored over a continuous strip from a gate to the northwest of the Icehouse Pond, around the pond to the west, south and east, and to a gate to the northeast of the pond. The strip was typically no more then 0.2 m in depth or 1.8 m in width. The archaeological monitoring was able to locate and record the location of the Icehouse Pond walk around a large proportion of its historic route. The condition of the path was ephemeral, typically comprising a thin layer of chalk which had largely subsided into the subsoil. Large sections to the south had also been lost to the pond through bank erosion. Evidence was also observed within the wider area indicating potential for remains of structures possible associated with the now lost ice house and associated structures |
