Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land proposed for redevelopment at The Orchard, Abbots Leigh, Bristol. The evaluation comprised the hand excavation of four trenches and followed previous desk-based and geophysical surveys. The desk-based assessment and the proximity to the former Hall led to the suggestion that this parcel may contain elements of a Tudor or later garden. The trenches found only isolated undated garden features cut into a thick limestone make-up layer, probably contemporary with the erection of the Tudor hall, overlain by a thick imported soil. This later soil was probably part of a remodelling associated with the erection of the new hall in the nineteenth century. |
