Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks associated with the construction of three new buildings. Building A lay within the area of a partly-demolished former stable block, Building B within an area formerly occupied by glasshouses, and Building C within the area of a demolished building abutting the south-eastern wing of Burford Lodge. In the surrounding area, nine Roman sites and findspots, a Celtic field system and the site of a medieval pottery kiln had been recorded. During the watching brief, no significant archaeological deposits were observed, although a later post-medieval well which was likely to have been constructed for use in the stabling block or later glasshouses was noted at the location of Building A. It was concluded that the area surrounding Burford Lodge was clearly one of archaeological sensitivity, but that the immediate curtilage of the Lodge itself had been subjected to considerable building works, particularly during the 19th century.
