Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East carried out an archaeological watching brief at Petworth Real Tennis Club between 12thand 31st July 2017. The fieldwork was commissioned by The National Trust. The ground works consisted of the excavation of drainage and ground beam trenches. Five trenches were monitored. The stratigraphic sequence on site consisted of imported topsoil overlying various made ground deposits. These deposits were overlying a buried subsoil layer, which overlay the natural geology. The site exhibited evidence of previous truncation, which may have been due to the demolition of previously existing buildings and subsequent levelling. The watching brief uncovered the remains of an undated and truncated wall footing and a brick-built footing probably dating from the 1870s, and shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1897. No other archaeological finds, features or deposits were identified. |
