Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA), carried out an archaeological watching brief from 11th February to 1st March 2019 in the vicinity of Trophy Gates, the main entrance point leading to Hampton Court Palace. The work consisted the monitoring of ten trenches for the purpose of the installation of bollards. The watching brief provided evidence that there was a possible road surface survival dating from the late 17th to early 18th century in the vicinity of the Trophy Gates. This was seen in Trenches T7 to T9 in the form of a layer of compacted Reigate stone, possibly removed from the earlier Tudor buildings during the extensive renovations carried out by Christopher Wren at the behest of William III from 1689 onwards. The gravels seen in Trench T3 may be the result of ground raising works probably carried out circa 1840 during the demolition of the Toye Inn and later on, the Trophy Gate Buildings, evidence for which was found during previous excavations carried by Oxford Archaeology. Extensive landscaping carried out post demolition was possibly visible in Trench T4.The small amount of brick work encountered in Trench T2 makes it difficult to ascertain as to whether it is part of a structure. |
