Abstract: |
Archaeological trenching evaluation at Ilam Hall was designed to investigate elements of the garden that are depicted on the 1839 Cobb map of the site, including the kitchen garden, walls, footpaths and outbuildings. Six trenches were excavated in total; four measuring 5 by 2 metres, one measuring 5 by 1 metre, and one measuring 1 by 1 metre. Three of the trenches contained well-preserved remnants of the garden boundary wall, constructed out of limestone blocks with lime mortar bonding. One of the trenches contained evidence of truncation of the wall, which was then backfilled with debris including (18th/19th pottery, glass and building material. A possible footpath running along the inside perimeter of the wall was also recorded. A structure to the north of the boundary wall, outside of the garden, may be related to outbuildings of the estate. |
