Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by the National Trust to undertake an archaeological watching brief during a program of consolidation works on the moat bank at Scotney Castle, Lamberhurst, Kent. Two trenches were excavated, the first measuring 41.50m long by 0.60m wide, in order to repair leaks draining water from the moat into the adjacent River Bewl. The second trench measured 1.50m long by 0.50m wide, and was excavated in order to carry out repairs to a leaking sluice. The purpose of the watching brief was to monitor these works and to record and interpret any archaeological features. None were encountered, although a small assemblage comprising six roof tiles was recovered from four different contexts which could only be broadly dated to the post-medieval period. The deposits encountered consisted of alluvial clay, upcast deposits for the moat bank and made ground related to the existing footpath. |
