Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was carried out at land at the southern extremities of Gorse Hall Park in order to trace remains of a hunting lodge and associated buildings built at the end of 18th century. These structures were present in various maps. Linear anomalies and high resistance readings seemed to provide evidence of another structure. However, confused images due to demolition layers and building rubble could not prove the existence of the hunting lodge. The evaluation trenches revealed ploughsoil as the earliest activity. Roman and medieval pottery was also found. Features cut in the ploughsoil dated to 19th/early 20th century. Later features such as tarmac and power cables were also found. [Au(adp)] |
