Abstract: |
In 2016, a project was undertaken to create 20 new permanent interpretation graphic points in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace celebrating the 'Year of the Gardens'. Each graphic was unique corresponding to the history of its surroundings, and 11 of these required the excavation of small shallow trenches in order to install the footings. The remaining nine graphics were free-standing structures. A watching brief was required during the excavation phase, which was undertaken intermittently between May 2016 and February 2017. Few archaeologically significant remains were uncovered other than a number of layers and deposits associated with earlier phases of the Kitchen Garden, located in the Tiltyard area. |
