Description
During the summers of 1995-9, the Taplow Archaeological Survey Team excavated 5 trenches in the grounds of Taplow Court. Trench 1 (excavated as 2 test pits in summer 1995 and extended in July and August 1996) revealed a small stub of random coursed chalk wall (three courses survived), post-medieval brick walls and a heavily mortared tile floor, thought to be the remains of the laboratory built for the Earl of Orkney and demolished in 1833. The trench also contained various modern services (B10-12).
