Abstract: |
Following on from a desk-based assessment Albion Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage to undertake archaeological recording and monitoring as part of the hydrology works associated with the garden restoration scheme at Wrest Park, Bedfordshire. The archaeological works reported here are all associated with drainage improvements to the woodland panel drains and comprised archaeological investigation of a number of the drains, followed by detailed monitoring and recording during works. The woodland panels lie at the southern end of the park and form a major component of the gardens. They comprise a number of segments divided by the principal woodland walks and rides. Each of the woodland panels contains a number of smaller paths, often leading to garden features, statues or areas of specimen planting. Most of the paths are flanked with drainage ditches which, prior to the current works, were heavily silted and, in many cases, barely visible. |
