Description
Watching brief carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology in January and February 2011 during extensive geotechnical test pitting identified landscaping make-up layers 0.49m-1.02m thick and modern path construction layers in test pits 14-17 and in hand dug trenches C-J and P-R, all in the terrace between the house and the parterre. No evidence for made ground, levelling or grading was identified in any other of the test pits, suggesting that there was little landscaping of areas further from the house. See report for detail (B19).
