No archaeological deposits or features were exposed during the work to construct an orangery at the rear of Mapleton House, and no finds recovered. The excavations were relatively shallow and excavated through modern deposits. There is however potential for earlier features cut into the natural subsoil to survive, but a lower depth than the formation level of the present development.
