Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was contracted by English Heritage to carry out an Archaeological Watching Brief on various small scale works within the confines of the curtain wall of Bolsover Castle: the planting of trees and plants; the installation of a conduit below each of the gravel pathways to allow for the use of hose pipes along the full length of the flowerbed; the installation of a soak away in front of the West Garden Room door to allow for water runoff; the extension of a pathway across the width of the exit door from the Wall Walk Entrance; and tthe reduction of a pathway across the entrance to the West Garden Room. Throughout the monitoring of the stages of work reported on herein, no archaeological features, deposits or structural remains were identified. Both the topsoil and compacted gravel were very rarely penetrated which indicates that any archaeological remains that do exist below these layers are reasonably well protected. A layer of terram which was observed in Area 15 indicates that the topsoil has been disturbed relatively recently. |
