Abstract: |
Client Poltimore Community and Landscape Project, Department of Archaeology, University of Exeter. Poltimore House is a Tudor House of the sixteenth century with many later additions and al-terations. It has had several uses, including a school, nursing home and hospital (HER 10156). The grounds in which the survey took place included a deer park mentioned in the sixteenth century and still extant in AD 1822 (HER 19787), an eighteenth century former lodge to the north-east of the house (rebuilt as Threepenny Lodge on the original foundations after a fire) (HER 29721), a mid nineteenth century stable block (HER 49339), elements of formal gardens attached to the house and the ponds and weirs of a former Chinese garden (HER 49340). Results summary A total of 141 magnetic anomaly groups were identified as representing possible archaeological deposits and features. A number of these anomaly groups enhanced and extended the evidence for changes to the landscape of Poltimore House provided by the Margary map of 1809, Ordnance Survey 1:2500 series maps from 1889 to 1905 and the Ordnance Survey 1:10000 series map from 1980. Evidence is presented in this report for magnetic anomaly groups pertaining to tracks, roads, enclosures, buildings, garden landscapes and a number of other potential archaeological features and deposits. |
