Abstract

Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (LUAU) was commissioned by the
National Trust in January 1996 to carry out an archaeological survey of Lyme
Park in Cheshire. Following the National Trust brief (Appendix 3) the project
was divided into two main elements: firstly a non-intensive survey of the
landscape and documentary evidence, and secondly a detailed survey of certain
features within the Park, including the arrangement of internal boundaries,
roads and avenues, woods and specified buildings and garden features. This
report deals with the first phase of the programme, the non-intensive 'field'
survey and documentary study of the Park's landscape development and present
archaeological resource, but also presents the results of the place names study.
For the most part this report does not examine in detail the Park's designed
landscape, as this is adequately dealt with elsewhere (Banks 1994).
