Abstract: |
As part of the Chiswick House and Grounds Regeneration Project, English Heritage's Archaeological Projects Team was approached to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Chiswick House in the London Borough of Hounslow. The evaluation was carried out between June 20th and July 1st 2005, and seven trenches were excavated. The trench locations were chosen to maximise the potential for archaeological discovery whilst minimising the level of disturbance to the site as a whole. The results of the excavations exceeded expectations with a wealth of archaeological evidence surviving in each of the trenches investigated. Evidence was recorded for several of the buildings that formerly stood on the site, as well as important and intriguing evidence for the earlier garden design and layout. In some instances this corroborated the pictorial evidence from the historic estate views, whereas in others it has added to our previously-held understanding. |
