Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the excavation of a series of trial trenches across the historic line of paths to the north side of the Octagon Lake within the Hawkwell Field at Stowe Landscape Gardens, Buckinghamshire. A gravel surfaced path was located in four of the trenches between the Palladian and Chinese bridges but related to a later period path layout. The line of the earlier lakeside path was not located and it is thought that at the date for which a path is depicted in that location it was most likely grass and not surfaced. Further trenches between the Palladian Bridge and Lamport Gardens, the Palladian Bridge and Gothic Temple and Gothic Temple and the Elysian Fields all revealed historic gravel paths. Earthwork features close to the Gothic Temple were also recorded. |
