Festival of Archaeology
Drop in as staff, volunteers and archaeologist Chris Scott see if they can uncover what may remain below the surface on the lawn above the ancient ha-ha.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
At the beginning of the 20th century a formal garden, now lost, sat below the ha-ha. It was accessed by two flights of ornamental stone steps. We hope to find some of the stonework remaining during an archaeological dig, to inform what happens next in this part of Acorn Bank’s beautiful garden.
There is then potential to restore the stone steps as access to the original Low Terrace.
