Abstract: |
Absolute Archaeology LLP was commissioned by the National Trust to carry out an archaeological watching brief to the east of the Orangery, belonging to Dyrham House, Dyrham, Gloucestershire, SN14 8ER. The programme of work was carried out in conjunction with the excavation of a drainage trench designed to alleviate the pressure of the existing pipe system. The work was carried out on the 1st December 2014. The excavation revealed a small feature comprised of reused ashlar blocks of limestone [101] to the NW of the trench and adjacent to a line of modern concrete bollards. Although only partially exposed in plan, the feature was seen to measure 300mm in length and is interpreted as Post Medieval in date and potentially belonging to the base of a garden feature. No further archaeological layers, features or deposits were identified and no artefacts were identified in the spoil, which was monitored throughout. |
