Gary Marshall, our regional archeologist for the Trust, visited Chastleton yesturday and worked with the garden team to do a geophysical assessment and discuss the area that will be dug for the expansion plan for The Kitchen Garden. Due to the ancient and historic nature of the property we usually ask Gary to advise and assess on any projects planned that will affect the fabric of the house, garden or estate. Following Gary's advice we plan to do a couple of small test pits in the area too. By getting Gary's advise we try to ensure that no important archaeology is damaged and that any new finds can be recorded. Gary hopes to visit again once the new beds have been dug to see if there are any important finds. We await the geophys results for the new Kitchen Garden area with interest and hope to go on and geophys the rest of the garden in due course.
