Abstract: |
In June 2008 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording during the groundworks at land adjacent to 33 Cherry Gardens, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire( NGR TL 4941 2183). The monitoring was required to comply with a planning condition for archaeological investigation required as part of planning consent (EHDC Planning ref: 3/08/0466/FUL). The site lies within an Area of Archaeological Significance (AAS) imposed due to the proximity of the Romano-British settlement. The Anglo-Saxon and medieval settlement was likely to have been approximately 600m south west of the site although extra-mural activity associated with the town may be encountered. The post-medieval and modern periods saw extensive urban development which included the construction of the area known as the Cannon's Close housing estate which the site lies within. Despite the potential for archaeological remains no features or finds were present. Much of the site has been truncated by the construction of a previous culvert, and monitoring of the route of the new culvert within an undisturbed area revealed no archaeological features or finds. |
