Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with renewal of the garden at the rear of 15, Somerset Place after major refurbishment of the house. No features or deposits of archaeological interest older than the construction of the crescent in 1790-1821 were observed during groundworks, and no artefactual material predating the modern period was recovered. The gardens behind the crescent were laid out on a steep slope and some were terraced into it. No evidence of such terracing was seen in No. 15. This was typical of most of the gardens which followed the natural gradient, with just one low retaining wall at the foot of the garden. This is how the gardens are represented in the earliest reliable plan of the gardens, the first edition OS 25 |
