Abstract: |
A ground penetrating radar survey was carried out at Marlborough College in an area formerly known as The Wilderness by Archaeological Surveys Ltd. The area lies to the south east of Marlborough Mound, a Neolithic monument subsequently utilised as part of medieval Marlborough castle. The results of the survey revealed several features of archaeological potential including substantial wall remains in the vicinity of previous excavations that revealed the castle's outer wall. A long channel or drain was also located and a possible track or bank with a similar orientation; it could not be established as to whether these features relate to the castle or later landscaping and ornamental gardens. Linear and discrete features of uncertain origin were also located at depths of approximately 0.6m. Some of these may be fragmented responses to services although several within Area 6 may relate to former structures and their archaeological potential should be considered. |
