Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd over several areas of lawn within the grounds of Burderop Park, Chiseldon, Swindon for Cotswold Archaeology. The site has been outlined for a proposed residential development, with a number of new builds within areas currently occupied by car parks and office buildings and a number of conversions of the listed buildings within the site. The survey was conducted across six survey areas: Area 1 within the main lawns forming the eastern part of the site, Areas 2 to 4 within very small areas of lawn adjacent to buildings and car parks, Area 5 within the walled garden in the north and Area 6 in the southern part of the site to the south of a cottage. The results demonstrate the presence of a number of anomalies that relate to the remains of an 18th century brewhouse that was excavated in 1995. A sarsen and chalk block wall and floor were also excavated, possibly relating to a medieval grange building. Further north a number of negative linear and rectilinear anomalies may indicate walling, some surrounding a rectangular positive response which could indicate a former structure. The anomalies are all parallel with the current and former boundaries and buildings within the site and could relate to unmapped garden features. Other anomalies within the site relate to ground disturbance and make-up, services, and garden features. Several discrete positive responses have been located; however, it is possible that many of these are associated with removed trees. |
