Abstract: |
In October 2017 Fulham Palace undertook a community excavation in a search for the Palace's dovecote which was demolished in the late 18th century. Two trenches were excavated, one in the anticipated location of the dovecote, and one to investigate a linear feature which had been identified during a geophysical survey in 2013. The dovecote was not found, but a large medieval ditch was revealed along with an associated metalled surface. This was backfilled between 1480 and 1550 with a large quantity of animal bone which derived from the Palace kitchens. The later post-medieval period was represented by dump layers and pitting. One layer contained significant quantities of moulded plaster which is likely to have been removed from the Palace during 18th century renovations. A number of recovered screw pickets may relate to a WW2 air balloon emplacement. |
