Abstract:
Following the proposal by Hertfordshire Highways to re-align a section of the A602 Ware Road to the east of Watton-at-Stone, Hertfordshire, Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake Phase I of the archaeological works to assess the potential of the Development Area. Between November 2006 and January 2007, Albion Archaeology undertook a non-intrusive archaeological field evaluation (fieldwalking survey) and a desk-based assessment of the Development Area and its immediate surroundings. The assessment reviewed the documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence available for both the Development Area itself and for land extending 500m beyond its limits (the Study Area). The desk-based assessment revealed no significant archaeological remains within the Development Area. However, the Study Area contains evidence for a wide variety of archaeological remains, ranging in date from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods. These include prehistoric ring ditches and enclosures, a Roman road, surface finds and settlement evidence, medieval settlement and surface finds and post-medieval landscape features. The fieldwalking survey covered the Development Area and a c.20m buffer within adjacent arable land. A small number of artefacts dating from the prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods were recovered with few significant concentrations of material. The great majority of the recovered artefacts were post-medieval or modern in date.
