Abstract:

The principal aim of the fieldwork was to assess the nature and extent of the evidence for the 18th century formal gardens as first laid out by Henry Wise. The evaluation recorded a prehistoric ditch, 17th/18th century quarry pits, an 18th-century foundation and a length of path, which was identified as the serpentine path belonging to the formal gardens and shown on a 1787 map.
