Abstract:		 The Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust carried out an archaeological evaluation on behalf of the National Trust within the arboretum at Shugborough Estate, Staffordshire. Four trenches were excavated in total, three of which were positioned to locate and examine pathways recorded on historic mapping. A fourth trench was positioned in parkland to the south of the lake to determine whether a ha-ha had formed the northern boundary of this area. The trench in the northernmost area of the arboretum revealed the extent of a former pathway, constructed from finely graded riverine sand and gravel. Two trenches to the south of the arboretum investigated a pathway which ran east from a bridge at the south end of the arboretum. This was revealed to be a broad structure also constructed from imported sand and gravel. Evidence of a whitish stone top dressing was visible in a trench located to the south of the bridge. The trenching located in parkland revealed multiple layers of dumped material of 18th-century date. The natural deposition in the base of the trench sloped gently to the south, possibly indicating a ha-ha structure located outside of the excavated area to the south.
