Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief at the North Paddock, Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, London W8 4PX in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The work was undertaken between 16th January and 3rd February 2017, during the installation of a hedge along the west and south boundaries of the North Paddock.The earliest feature on site was a small pit observed in Trench 1, with ceramic building material recovered dating to between 1500-1800. This pit cut into an undated layer of made ground, possibly redeposited natural used for landscaping works, seen across Trenches 1-7. An inspection chamber for a culvert was uncovered at the junction of Trenches 9 and 10 which was thought to date to the 18th century. The culvert itself had been removed and replaced with 19th century backfill, although the cut was still visible. The remaining stratigraphy of the site was mainly composed of post-medieval layers from the 19th century, with occasional cut features |
