Abstract: |
The works necessitated the excavation of a small trench within a bicycle storage area just to the east of the Sunken Garden to construct a foundation base for the generator, together with a trench for the connecting cable which ran from the base in a southerly direction towards the Victoria Statue before turning west towards the palace. The watching brief revealed layers of made ground which were deposited to create the current flat topography of the area. These were overlain in localised positions by garden features presumed to be of the 19th century (if not later), including an edging wall from a planting bed or similar and a path-edge with associated metalled surface. The sequence was completed by imported levelling sand and topsoil throughout. All recorded archaeological features discussed in this report were left undisturbed and in situ. |
