Abstract: |
Excavation works were carried out with a five ton tracked excavator suitably equipped with a 1.6m wide toothless ditching bucket. Prior to the excavation, tree stumps were removed from the marked out swimming pool area. Additional areas, measuring 2.5m wide, were excavated in the western and eastern side of the swimming pool to allow decking and other infrastructure to be installed. The impact level of these additional areas was 0.25-0.30m below ground level (BGL). The maximum depth of excavation was 1.7m BGL in the northern part of the swimming pool sloping southwards to 1.8m BGL in the centre reaching 2.2m BGL in the southern end of the excavation area. Machine excavations were carried out under constant archaeological monitoring and supplemented by hand sampling of archaeological features and deposits. Evidence of gardening related activities, represented by garden feature wall 05 and by rubble deposit (02), possibly resulting from landscaping, were uncovered at Danvers House. The fragments of ceramic building material and glass recovered during the archaeological works indicate a date of the 19th-20th century for such activities. No earlier archaeological remains were observed. |
