Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Strutt and Parker on behalf of their client to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Knole House, Knole Park, Sevenoaks (NGR: 553996 154015). The watching brief was maintained during groundworks associated with the construction of a timber framed gardeners' compound and associated services within the walled gardens of the 15th century stately home. The archaeological watching brief began on the 6th September 2010 and ran intermittently until 26th November 2010. The ground works monitored in the watching brief revealed post-medieval structural remains and garden features. Several artefacts of late 18th to early 20th century date, including a highly abraded early post-medieval pottery sherd were recovered from the topsoil at the site. Natural yellow sand geology was encountered across the site at approximately 124.0m AOD. |
