Abstract: |
In order to advise the planning authority of the nature and extent of archaeological remains surviving on a proposed development site at 72-74 South Road, Baldock, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Wheatley Homes Ltd to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation and an historic buildings impact assessment. Five trial trenches of varying lengths were excavated across the area. Identified features consisted of an undated gully and modern wall. Despite the potential for remains dating to the Iron Age and Roman period nothing of this date has been identified. A rapid survey and detailed digital photographic record of the buildings on the site was undertaken. This, combined with the archaeological desk-based assessment (Ashworth, 2007), has demonstrated that there have been several building phases on the site. The four extant buildings can be divided into two distinctive groups: no. 74 (Building 1), a former farmhouse with its stable block (Building 2) and granary (Building 3) all dating to the 19th century, and no. 72, a detached house built in the grounds of the farm to the south c1925. |
