Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at the King William III Lawn at Kensington Palace, London W8. The work was commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces and was designed to monitor the installation of a new irrigation system on the King William III lawn to the south of the Palace.The works were carried out over two weeks, and comprised the excavation of four small pits to a depth of 0.95m below ground level (BGL) and a connecting shallow trench which ran for 40 metres. Thirty Irrigation Pits were also excavated, between which the irrigation pipes were bored below ground. The watching brief identified a late post-medieval subsoil horizon overlain by topsoil. A possible post-medieval garden feature was found in Slot 4. No structures or definite horizons of archaeological interest relating to any former palace structure were identified.
