Description

{1} The proposed site of the new stable block lay on the projected southeast/ northwest course of a medieval deer park boundary which probably comprised a ditch and bank. Ground reduction took place over an area of 376 sq. M. There was no evidence of the deer park boundary. Neither were there any features or artefacts earlier than 19th century date. The investigation established that the only archaeological features and deposits exposed within the development area were associated with a range of 19th century farm outbuildings, their demolition in the late 20th century, and the subsequent creation of a landscaped garden
