Abstract: |
An excavation was undertaken on behalf of The National Trust at Croome Park, Croome D'Abitot, Worcestershire (NGR ref. SO88084498; HER ref 40500) on the 19th and 20th July 2008 and the 25th and 26th July 2009. The excavation was carried out to determine whether the foundations of a small building behind the Temple Greenhouse were those of a latrine known to have existed in this area. The excavation confirmed that the small building was the latrine. This comprised a brick structure with stone detailing, possibly emulating the design of the Temple Greenhouse. A large quantity of painted plaster was recovered, indicating that the interior of the latrine was carefully decorated. Other finds suggested that the latrine building survived until the early 20th century and may have spent some time as a ruin before it collapsed. Excavation of the adjacent ditch, intowhich the latrine drained, failed to reveal any firm evidence for its date of digging, but did establish its depth and profile. |
