Full Description
{3} Some formal garden features survive, notably a prospect mound against which STP 11 was located (aimed at understanding the pre-lodge landscape and assessing whether the prospect mound had been set on an earlier earthwork. The test pit had clearly been affected by landscaping associated with the gardens of Whittlebury Lodge. Gravel and cobbles revealed might be interpreted as a path around the mound as shown in the plans for the lodge gardens. The soakaway revealed must also date from this period.
