Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was commissioned by Janine Young Archaeological Consultant National Trust Attingham Park Shrewsbury to carry out a programme of archaeological excavation associated with the installation of two LPG tanks on the North Lawn of Croome Court, a Grade I Listed mid-18th -century National Trust property at High Green Severn Stoke Worcestershire. The work took place in two stages and involved the excavation of two 6m square trenches. The first of these revealed a substantial culvert crossing the trench diagonally and probably forming part of the drainage system for the landscape parkland begun in 1751 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. The culvert was fully recorded and the area backfilled to avoid any potential damage to this feature. An alternative location was identified 2m to the east and a second area was opened, also measuring 6m × 6m. The trench was excavated to natural deposits and, with the exception of a layer of rubble and rubbish on the south side of the trench, no features or deposits of archaeological significance were seen. |
