Abstract: |
Pre-construct Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at the Great Pagoda, Kew. This comprised two evaluation trenches with one located inside the pagoda (Trench 1) at the base of the stairwell, and one located outside (Trench 2). Trench 1 revealed a mortar spread at the base which is believed to have been associated with the construction of the pagoda. The brick plinth that supported the stairwell was also revealed. Trench 2 was excavated in an attempt to find steps present on an elevation dating to 1761. Situated on the north side of the pagoda this trench did not reveal the steps. The archaeological sequence comprised natural sands and gravels sealed by two deposits of 18th century garden soil. These were truncated by the construction cut of the Pagoda. An extant column base was also exposed. |
