Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation investigated the remains of a garden structure called the Overlook at the Swiss Garden, Old Warden, Bedfordshire. The remains of the structure comprise a brick wall with five integral buttresses on either side, retaining a mound of soil to the west. The investigation revealed that originally the mound of soil had been retained at the sides by a wall, most likely of ironstone, which would have prevented the soil from eroding. No evidence was found of any paths or steps leading to the summit of the mound nor was there any evidence of how any superstructure was configured. |
