Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by the National Trust to assist in the running of a community archaeology project at Petworth House, Petworth, West Sussex. The excavation was the culmination of a year-long archaeological investigation of the House's parkscape, and was targeted on the site of the 'lost' medieval North Wing. Eight trenches were mechanically excavated at the site, and volunteers manually excavated revealed archaeological deposits under the supervision of archaeologists from the National Trust and Archaeology South-East. Three trenches were not fully excavated and another produced evidence of quarrying, but the four remaining trenches contained significant archaeological deposits. Surviving remains of the North Wing consisted of mortar beds holding impressions of a removed floor tile and elements of external and internal walls, some with plaster still adhering to them. Contemporary artefacts included pottery, glassware, clay pipes and domestic items. Evidence of the demolition took the form of stone rubble and artefacts such as nails, lead cames from windows and other fittings. The replacement of the North Wing with a formal garden left evidence in the form of hard landscaping such as courtyards, paths and drains. The replacement of that garden with a more open parkscape by 'Capability Brown' resulted in the levelling of that garden and the demolition of upstanding features. As well as material contemporary with the construction, occupation and demolition of the North Wing, residual prehistoric flintwork and pottery, and Anglo-Saxon and Saxo-Norman pottery and intrusive later material were recovered.
