Abstract: |
In order to assess the archaeological risk posed by a proposal to convert a Grade II listed barn to a domestic dwelling, and to build new dwellings at Attimore Hall Barn, Ridgeway, Welwyn Garden City, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Durkan Ltd to undertake a desk-based archaeological assessment of the site. The map evidence shows that,the study area has been occupied by a farm since at least the late18th century. The listed barn certainly pre-dates 1766 and roof timbers n the barn have been dated to the 17th century. Examination of aerial photographs of the site has revealed evidence that the study area may lie within a possible late Iron Age enclosure. Archaeological remains of late Iron Age, Romano-British and medieval date have been recorded in the vicinity. On the basis of the known evidence, there is a high risk that archaeological remains survive on the eastern side of the present site, which appears to have remained largely undeveloped since at least the late 18th century. The actual nature of any surviving remains can only be characterised with certainty by intrusive investigation. |
