Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks at Remenham Park Place Headmasters House, Remenham, Berkshire. The watching brief monitored the removal of four brick and stone foundations upon which four stone obelisks previously stood.The investigation revealed a sequence of dumped deposits which are probably part of a landscaping project relating to the changing of the main entrance of the house from the western façade to the northern. The entrance at the western façade led to the ground floor of the house while the northern entrance leads to the first floor. A large hill was constructed to the north of the house to facilitate this. Although the deposits remain undated, documentary evidence suggests this took place prior to 1797.Above these deposits were more recent deposits of made ground associated with the laying of a recent tarmac surface and the current construction works at the site. No finds or features were identified during the investigation |
