Abstract: |
Between the 16th and 18th November 2016 Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological watching brief on the site of Marble Hill Park, Twickenham, TW1 2NL. The watching brief comprised the monitoring of 11 pits, completed by CET Infrastructure, located in the Stable Block Yard, in woodland surrounding the house and in an open area of parkland. This included 8 trial pits, 2 boreholes and 1 hand auger pit. They ranged in depth from c0.73m to 3.4m in depth. The pits exposed, in general, a thin layer of post-medieval stratigraphy, including the cobbled stable yard surface and demolition material from the 20th century removal of the service wing associated with the main house. This overlay natural Langley silt, alluvium and Kempton Park Gravel, encountered between 7.54mOD and 4.48mOD. Finds included post-medieval pottery, glass and a potential prehistoric worked flint. |
