Abstract: |
In order to determine the archaeological risk posed by a proposal for housing development at Thompson's Yard, 85 Tilehouse Street, Hitchin, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Lantern Construction Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation. A single trial trench measuring 1.65 x 9.7m was excavated across the footprint of the new buildings. The natural geology of reddish yellow sandy clay and gravel was encountered at a depth of c.0.80m below the existing ground level. One feature was observed cut into the natural in the northern end of the trench. The sub-circular feature yielded fragments of late post-medieval tile, and has been interpreted as a pit. |
