Short Description:
N-S aligned continuation of garden wall in TR13
Issued to
Chole Fuggle | 26/10/2022

Interpretation

    • This is the continuation of the N-S aligned Tudor garden wall that was visible in Trenches 8 and 11 in 2021 and trenches 13 and 15 in 2022. These are almost certainly all the same wall stretching off at least 65m N-S along the back of the formal Tudor garden. It is observed constructed almost identically in all interventions, consisting of medium to large very roughly shaped unworked unfinished limestone/sandstone blocks with no bond laying atop a very roughly lain stone foundation above a clay layer
