Abstract: |
In February 2006 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd undertook an investigation of the location of a significant metal detecting discovery. A decorated copper alloy flagon or jug believed to be of 1st century AD date had been discovered on land at Lower Farm, Markyate. ASC was commissioned by the Historic Environment Section of Hertfordshire County Council to investigate the nature of the find and any associated features. It was established that the flagon had been buried adjacent to a pre-existing boundary, and that no other associated artefacts were present. Its subsequent breakage was almost certainly due to the action of ploughing. Further fragments of the vessel were recovered c.2.5m to the west of the original findspot. |
