Abstract/Summary

A survey undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology at Delapre Abbey, Northampton on behalf of Parklands Consortium Ltd. A walkover survey of the parklands surrounding the Abbey and gardens identified a range of features associated with former medieval agriculture and later land usages. Topographic and geophysical survey of the South Lawn identified evidence for previous planting and garden layout. Test pitting along the wall of the Walled Garden determined that it was largely a single phase structure of 18th century date, and that no traces of a medieval precinct wall on the same alignment were present.
