Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the works regarding the rebuilding of the ha-ha. Documentary and archaeological evidence suggested that White's ha-ha seemed to have been rebuilt in the 19th century before 1870. This new structure had a flint face, a malmstone backing and brick cappings and quoins. There was evidence for a number of subsequent repairs in the 20th century. No evidence was recovered for White's earlier drystone ha-ha and few of the original materials seemed to have been incorporated in the later structure. A substantial stone base was found below the sundial, built in a cut into the original terrace and was not part of the original building of the terrace and ha-ha in 1761. The original sundial had been blown down in a violent storm in 1781. It was possibly to prevent a repeat of such an event that White may have been responsible for making this base in 1788. Although there was no dating evidence to confirm this, it seemed possible that White had built this structure. [Au(abr)] |
