Abstract:
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a combined magnetometer, earth resistance and ground penetrating radar survey at Westenhanger Castle, Lympne, Kent, over an area where it is thought there may be the sub-surface remains of a former garden created in the Tudor period. Anomalies corresponding with three boundaries recorded on historic mapping have been tentatively identified. Two of these boundaries are thought to possibly locate the southern and eastern extent of a 'walled orchard', recorded on the historic mapping. These anomalies are consequently interpreted as of possible archaeological potential as it has been postulated that this 'walled orchard' previously defined the extent of the Tudor garden. No anomalies specifically thought to be due to features within the garden are identified; most of the survey area has likely been extensively landscaped having been incorporated within Folkestone Racecourse for more than a century. However, other linear anomalies located within the 'walled orchard' and perpendicular to the mapped boundaries may have some archaeological potential based on their alignment but the shallow depth at which they have been recorded may preclude against this. The majority of the anomalies identified during the survey almost certainly reflect current and recent ground conditions and usage.
