Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out on the grounds of Myddelton House Gardens in February and March, 2010, to monitor ground works for a new visitor facility in the stables block annexe. The first portion of the watching brief entailed monitoring of trench excavation and borehole drilling to the west of the annexe building, in the area of a proposed extension. The second portion of the watching brief entailed monitoring of pavement removal, drain-run excavation, and test pit excavation prior to access ramp construction and resurfacing in the courtyard to the south of the annexe building. Natural gravel was observed at 1m below the present ground surface. Above this, possibly in-situ subsoil, probably re-worked by cultivation, was present up to as high as 0.2m below the present surface. In the area of the courtyard, this was directly below the concrete base for the present paving. To the west of the annexe building, there were post-medieval (probably 19th- and 20th-century) backfill deposits and what may have been a buried tarmac surface within 0.3m of the present ground surface. |
