Abstract: |
February 2004. Oxford Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief at Luton Hoo, Bedfordshire during site investigations and groundwork for a new garden wing. The watching brief monitored the machining of an access though an earthen embankment, known as the 'dependency mound'. The mound is generally accepted to date from the late 18th century. Profiles of the earthwork were recorded prior to the works. The cut for the access revealed a number of layers containing demolition debris, which probably derived from a 17th century manor house, Napier House, which once stood nearby. Four geological Test Pits excavated within the mound were also monitored. These revealed Upper Chalk and probable Palaeological alluvial sediments. |
