No trace of the garden 'temple seat' was found. We have dug a section of the park boundary by Greendown School and found that the stone wall is built directly on the limestone at the base of the ditch. There was no evidence of earlier filling of the ditch, which means that either the boundary was first built in the 18th century, or that the medieval Park Pale that was thought to be there was completely changed and cleaned out when the landscaping was carried out.

In the same area we have dug two trenches looking for an ornamental garden ‘temple seat ’ shown on a map in 1766 on the east side of the lake. No trace of it was found, so it was probably an insubstantial wooden structure or seat.
