Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the National Trust and Kew at Wakehurst to undertake geophysical survey of Wakehurst Place, West Sussex, centred approximately on NGR 533978 131394. The survey was undertaken as part of the 'Historic Buildings and Structures Survey' which will form the baseline 'Understanding the Asset' section of the Conservation Management Plan for Wakehurst Place; a joint project with Richard Griffiths Architects. The earth resistance survey was conducted on the lawn to the south of Wakehurst Place whilst the magnetometer survey was conducted on the east, west and south ranges. The magnetometer survey proved to be an unsuitable method for the majority of the survey area, due to the inclusion of steel in the construction of the pathways and an increased magnetic response in other areas such as the east lawn. The earth resistance survey however successfully located a number of anomalies, some of which are thought to be structural, while others are most likely evidence of previous landscaping. |
