Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained, and excavation undertaken, during small scale excavation work within the Queen Anne Garden. This is a level area, with a raised terrace at its north end occupied by grass and flower beds. The excavation in the south-west corner of the garden (NS 7902 9396), showed evidence for bedding material for cobbles, with no dating evidence beyond the fact that they post-date the stairs, which are presumed to be early 18th-century. Examination of the masonry surrounding the five test pits (NS 7903 9402) suggests that none of it dates to the 16th-century construction of the nearby wall and tower, and is unlikely to predate the late 17th-century siege, and may in fact reflect even later reworking. |
