Abstract:
The investigation involved the mechanical excavation of eleven trenches by an 8- tonne excavator equipped with a ditching bucket, supplemented by hand investigation of archaeological deposits. The eleven trenches were to be 22.2m in length. However, the ditching bucket was only 1.5m wide as opposed to the 1.8m wide ordered. In order to achieve the same square metreage, it was agreed with Rob Bourne that the trenches be extended. As a result greater linear coverage was assured. The trenches were not less than 26.5m long. Site procedures carried out followed IfA guidelines and the requirements of the CgMs’s Specification. The work was carried out in accordance with the standards specified by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (1994) and the principles of MAP2 (English Heritage 1991). The evaluation undertaken at Lime Lodge revealed evidence of the field boundary visible on the Egham Enclosure Map of 1817, which continued to be shown on mapping until the OS 1:2500 of 1872. By 1894 the field boundary is no longer shown (CgMs 2008; Fig. 6). Two pairs of gullies were present in Trench 2 and Trench 11. The former may well have functioned as drainage gullies either side of a path within the gardens; however, no evidence for formal gardens exist on the various maps consulted by CgMs (2008), and no archaeological evidence of formal gardens was present during the evaluation. The pair of gullies investigated in Trench 11 were too close together to have functioned as drainage associated with a path, and may relate to kitchen gardens, although the historic map evidence does not indicate the presence of any enclosures or kitchen gardens in the vicinity of the gullies. A single early prehistoric flint was recovered from Trench 11. The other trenches investigated during the evaluation failed to yield any remains of archaeological significance. Trench 9 evidenced the southeast corner of the former stable block and a bottle dump. Trench 10 evidenced traces of planting, which when excavated proved to be rooting. Trenches 4, 5 , 6 and 8 were totally negative.
