Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out between October 2009 and August 2013 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. at Fulham Palace, Bishop's Avenue, London, SW6 6EA, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham during works related to the Phase II Restoration and Revival Project. A total of 217 trenches were monitored during this period of the work. Evidence of Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age activity was attested to by the presence of residual finds of pottery and worked flint. A Roman ditch and pit were observed underneath the east lawn. Substantial timber remains dated to the 13th century were identified within the moat and suggest the presence of a wooden bridge crossing the moat at this time. A ragstone wall foundation dated to this period was also discovered in the stable yard. The same area provided evidence of a late medieval to Tudor period structure being present prior to the later stable block, along with further timbers of this date within the moat. Portions of the Housekeeper's building and the State Wing were also identified dating to this period and into the 17th century. Additionally 18th and 19th century phases of the stable block were recorded alongside 19th century foundations of the Coachman's Lodge, the Gothick Lodge, the lavatories in the East Courtyard, the vinery and bothy, and the moat bridge. |
