Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd led a community excavation within the Fulham Palace Walled Garden between the 6th and 28th of October 2014. These works involved the excavation of 47 tree planting beds measuring 1m by 1m in plan and 0.90m in depth. The excavations revealed a worked horizon which may have originated in the Roman period. Struck flint dating to between the Mesolithic and early Neolithic and also the late 2nd to 1st millenia BC were recovered throughout the excavation. 142 sherds of Roman pottery was retrieved, mostly dating to the late Roman period and reflective of a domestic assemblage. The recovery of Roman brick and tile may hint at the former presence of a substantial Roman structure. The remaining features represented planting beds and horticultural layers dated to the periods 1550-1630, 1630-1720, 1720-1805 and 1805-1830. Subsoil dated 1830-1900 was also recorded. The trenches were sealed by modern topsoil |
