Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation of on of Marston Moretaine's three moated sites (NGR SP 9955 4108) was carried out by Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (now Archaeological Solutions Ltd) in February to March 2003 and January to February 2004. The moat was identified, and two boreholes were sunk through its deposits, to obtain samples for analysis of stratigraphy, pollen, diatoms and plant pacrofossils The moat was shown to have been muddy and seasonally water filled rather than having been a permanently water holding feature. The landscape of the area was shown to have been predominantly grassland, with some areas of managed woodland surviving. |
