Abstract:		 The National Trust (owners of Lower Brockhampton) wish to constuct a path between the gatehouse and the manor house in order to protect the lawned area from erosion.An archaeological evaluation was required in order to ascertain the existence of any previous pathways, their make-up and course. The evaluation was also designed to provide information regarding the top of significant (in this case, likely late medieval) stratigraphy. Two 3m x 1m trenches were excavated by hand through the lawned area. Trench 1 was located to the south and west of the front door of the house in order to intercept any earlier surviving pathways and to test a hypothesis that an earlier door to the house was located to the west of the present door. Trench 2 was located close to the base of the ramp which leads from the gatehouse onto the lawned area. This was positioned in order to compare the results from Trench 1 and to determine the level of survival of both pathway evidence and deposits of archaeological significance. Trench 1 revealed the presence of a lightly-gravelled path immediately below the turf layer. Trench 2 contained the lightly-gravelled path deposit which overlay a thin layer of broken ceramic roof tile. It is suggested that the gravel path was probably constructed in the 1960s and that the stone make-up within Trench 1 relates to the re-roofing of the house in the late 19th century.
