Abstract:		 In advance of estate management proposals an archaeological evaluation of a possible ornamental canal situated within the parkland of High Hall, Pamphill was undertaken. The construction of the canal was studied and its date of construction put at the late 17th or early 18th century. A path and collapsed wall were also recorded. The remains of a dam, sluice and sluice hatch were cleared and recorded. Where the upcast from the excavation of the canal was investigated it was found to contain flint of Neolithic/Bronze Age date and considerable quantities of burnt flint. This suggested that the rare ornamental garden feature was located on a prehistoric occupation or settlement site. [Au(abr)]
