| Abstract: |
<summary>Following field evaluations, further archaeological investigations were undertaken at six sites in advance of the construction of the Berkhamsted By-Pass: an area of Neolithic occupation and evidence of Late Pre-Roman and Romano-British occupation were identified at Crawleys Lane; a section of the Grims Ditch was excavated adjacent to Hamberlins Wood (the steep V-profile of the ditch was recorded, pottery of probable Iron Age date was recovered from basal fills, ploughed-out bank material was revealed sealing small shallow features, worked flint fragments were recovered, and pits and ditches containing Iron Age, Romano-British, Saxon and medieval pottery in the vicinity of the Grims Ditch were identified); approximately 40 ditches all aligned east-west, representing at least ten phases, with substantial evidence of multi-phased activity in the vicinity of the ditches dating from the Early Neolithic to the Roman period, were identified at Bottom House Lane; Roman pottery, tile and animal bone were found derived from a number of refuse pits and lined storage pits within a small enclosure at Stony Lane; evidence of Bronze Age structures and Late Pre-Roman/Iron Age occupation was revealed at Oakwood; and remains of three circular buildings of Late Bronze Age to Late Pre-Roman Iron Age date, enclosed by a boundary ditch, were identified at Pea Lane. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea} |
