With the building work at Exeter Farm nearing completion, attention has turned to reinstating the cottage garden and surrounding landscape.  Archealogical investigation and recent earthworks around the property have uncovered paths and drain systems as well as the original ground level, which turns out to be much lower than the existing ground level.

A significant amount of material was removed to lower the ground level to allow for the water to flow away from the buildings.
