Abstract:		 Border Archaeology was instructed by Janine Young Archaeology Consultant National Trust Attingham Park Shrewsbury SY4 4TP to carry out Archaeological Observation of approximately 1.3km of trenching excavations in respect of a new water main located to the north of the mansion and Home Farm within parkland at Croft Castle. Ground-works revealed no features or finds of archaeological significance. No evidence for occupation within the area of the parkland excavated was identified. However, a large section of ENE -WSW terracing was identified within the parkland to the W of Croft Castle, possibly representing the remains of lynchets associated with medieval or early post-medieval ridge and furrow ploughing on the slope to the north. An alternative interpretation could be that it formed a park boundary delineation, as suggested by 19th century Tithe Apportionment and Ordnance Survey mapping.
