Abstract: |
A a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks associated with the construction of a new car park at Richmond Lodge, Tattershall Castle, Tattershall, Lincolnshire. Richmond Lodge is a 20th century house located to the west of the castle and outside the limits of the area protected as a nationally important Scheduled Monument (No: SM22720) (NHLE 1215317). An access road separates Richmond Lodge from Castle Cottage, the grade II listed building presently used as office accommodation by the National Trust. The development comprised the renovation of the existing dwelling at Richmond Lodge and construction of a new car park and access to the southeast of the building. The renovated building will be used as new offices by the National Trust. Tattershall Castle was contructed in the 13th century by Robert of Tattershall. During the 15th century it came into the ownership of Ralph, First Lord Cromwell who rebuilt the castle as a fortified house. The castle is now in the ownership of the National Trust. A simple sequence of topsoil and subsoil overlying natural geology was recorded during the investigation. A modern brick-built structure was probably a soakaway or septic tank serving Richmond Lodge. No evidence of activity contemporary with the nearby castle was revealed and no artefacts were retrieved. |
