Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological watching brief carried out by Archaeology South-East (ASE) at Scotney Castle, Hastings Road, Lamberhurst, Kent. ASE was commissioned by The National Trust to record a cobbled surface located beneath an access road into the site. The area of cobbled surface had been exposed as a result of vehicle damage to the overlying tarmac road. The cobbled path was to be recorded prior to a planned repair of the road (which seeks to keep the cobbled surface protected beneath). The exposed area of cobbled surface was successfully surveyed, planned and photographed. Historical map evidence shows that the surface lays on the former junction between a wider road orientated north-south and a narrow path which ran east to west from the south of the former orchard towards the western entrance of the country house. The direction of the cobbled coursing indicates that the current tarmac road running north-south may sit on top of an earlier cobbled road. |
