Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at the Walled Garden at Fulham Palace, Bishops Avenue, Fulham, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, SW6 6EA. The work formed part of a Public Archaeological project designed to provide data relating to the historical layout of the 18th-19th century working kitchen garden prior to its restoration. Its dual-aim was also to provide members of the public an opportunity to engage with an archaeological project and to impart knowledge and learning regarding the history of the Fulham Palace site. The results of the excavation revealed a series of features generally comprising planting holes for trees and plants, linear planting beds, rubbish pits and horticultural soil horizons. Six phases of activity dating from the mid-late 18th century through the 19th and into the 20th were established through an analysis of artefactural spot dating and spatial and stratigraphic relationships within the trenches. Two of three bee boles located on the exterior side of the enclosure wall of the garden (facing the palace) that were bricked up during the late 18th - early 19th century were also restored and recorded as part of the project. In addition to the locating and recording of features, the recovering of artefacts from the soil horizons and fills of various features have assisted to create a valuable collection of cultural artefacts related to the historical activities undertaken in the garden and the people who lived and worked there. |
