Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation took place within the grounds of the 18th century Aldersbrook Manor, just to the south of the main house and in an area that once contained water features and a terraced garden. On its southern edge the site also an area of later 19th century 'public graves' associated with the present cemetery. Although the evaluation did not reveal any very significant archaeological remains some features and remains relating to the designed landscape of the Manor were found in the northeast corner of the site. Most notable was the lower section of a substantial brick-built terrace wall. Parallel with and about 4.6m to the south of this was a broad gravel path, whilst other associated deposits included made ground and soil horizons to the north and south of the retaining wall. There was little independent dating evidence for these remains, but it seems clear that they are related and that they all form parts of the 18th century terraced garden. They were few remains elsewhere in the evaluated area, although a brick drain in the adjacent evaluation trench is also very likely to date to this period. Ten test pits were also excavated on the southern edge of the site, in the area of recorded 19th century burials. Most of these exposed probable grave cuts and fills, but there was no evidence for human remains at this level. |
