Abstract: |
The work was undertaken in advance of the construction of an external stone staircase from the north-west facing facade. Five trenches were excavated of varying width in order to target the possibility of a previous stone staircase within the same area as indicated on plans by William Emes who designed the gardens for the house. Analysis of the plans/ maps suggested the staircase was potentially located between the present stone bordered flower beds and the north-west elevation. Most of the trenches contained substantial brick services/ drains from the washroom probably associated with the 1958 alterations to the building. The north-east end of trench 5 was heavily disturbed by services. However much of the natural clay in all trenches was general un-disturbed, therefore any staircase foundations had potential to be present. However the evaluation proved negative for any remains of the staircase foundation including any associated demolition rubble. There was also an absence of any other archaeological features. |
