Abstract:		 This report has been produced in response to an archaeological project brief supplied by The National Trust, for the archaeological excavation of a 20m length of trench to run across a grassed area to the west of the Stable Block, prior to the installation of pipes for a new biomass boiler system. It was agreed that the width of the existing service trench should be ascertained so two 1m wide trenches were opened by hand in order to do this. As the turf was removed, it became clear that a well preserved cobbled path had been laid over the line of the trench. A test pit was excavated down either side of the cobbled path within both trenches in order to record the underlying stratigraphy. The underlying deposits appeared to be re-deposited natural to a depth in excess of 1m below the present ground surface. No artefacts were recovered and nothing of archaeological significance recorded. On the basis of this information it was agreed that the new pipe trench could be inserted along the eastern side of the cobbled path without causing any archaeological damage. It was agreed that this could be done under the terms of an archaeological watching brief as per the excavation of the rest of the pipe trench.
