Abstract:		 On the 7th and 8th March 2018 Historic Royal Palaces undertook a watching brief in the Great Fountain Garden, Hampton Court Palace. The project was undertaken to mitigate the excavation work required for the installation of irrigation pipes. The watching brief exposed buried garden soil horizons overlain at the western and central portions of the trench by a layer of compacted gritty burnt black sand followed by a rich red compacted sand and brick dust layer. These deposits may be evidence for the 16th-century brick clamps documented in the Hampton Court Building Accounts. These deposits were truncated at the western end of the trench by a later sub-round garden feature. Towards the eastern end of the trench a series of 20th-century rubble deposits and gravelly make-up layers associated with the present-day gravel pathways were recorded. This report also combines the results of a similar watching brief undertaken in 2013 mitigating the impact of the installation of irrigation pipes on the north side of the grassed demi-lune area in the Great Fountain Garden. Gravel deposits overlying a compacted brick, mortar and charcoal layer located at roughly 0.45m below ground level were encountered.
