Abstract: |
A landscape survey was carried out of the Lake and surrounding landscape at Arlington Court, Arlington, Devon by AC archaeology between March and July 2022 on behalf of the National Trust. A statement of significance for the historic environment within the survey area has been
prepared. The majority of the survey area falls within the Grade II* Arlington Court Registered Park and Garden. The investigations were undertaken to establish a clear understanding of the nature, distribution, and level of significance of the archaeological resource of and around the lake, and to ensure their significance can be fully measured and considered against a range of possible future management options. The survey confirmed the results of a 2011 landscape survey that has established the baseline archaeological data for the area. The survey area includes some elements of potentially medieval date – trackways and part of a deer park, with the majority of the sites being of later post-medieval date. These include phases of carriage drives and woodland tracks, evidence for realignment of a public highway around the parkland, the 1830s lake and its expansion in c. 1850, along with other
features, such as a catchmeadow system and quarries. |
