Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by the National Trust to carry out an archaeological trial trenching at Berrington Walled Gardens. The work was carried out during 23rd - 27th February 2017 by Martina Tenzer and Otis Gilbert. The results of the works will inform proposals for the renovations of the gardens. These works are not part of a planning application. The proposed works comprised six trenches within the walled garden (WG). All trenches were hand excavated. The location of the trenches was based on the results of a previous radar survey, historic map study and a site walkover carried out on 18th January 2017. Trenches 1 to 5 were excavated in the proposed locations.Trench 6 was moved from its original location across former stable remains into the walled garden to identify the extent of the curvilinear wall. Garden paths were identified in Trenches 2, 4 and 5 matching the garden lay out shown on the 1887 map. The stone material showed the same red colour and hue as the stone the Hall itself is constructed and is therefore likely to be quarried in the same location. No structural remains of the building of the tithe map were found, traces of construction on the site were represented by an extended area of mortar in the approximate location of a former building. A hard standing east of the garden shed was interpreted as floor of the extension of the potting shed or more likely to be a part of the greenhouse located to the south of the shed. There was no evidence of a wall extending to the south of the curvilinear wall. A continuation the wall in a slightly different alignment as indicated in the Historic Building report dating to the time of the 'Capability Brown' Garden (Wessex 2017) were not reflected in the ground and probably eradicated when the new lay out of the Walled Garden was designed in the early 19th century (1825 Bryant's plan and 1844 map).
