Abstract: |
In July 2006, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment at The Bishop's Stortford High School, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire (TL 4880 1972). The assessment was commissioned prior to the preparation of a redevelopment strategy for the existing site of The Bishop's Stortford High School. The site comprises two distinct, but adjacent, rectangular plots of land, roughly divided as the eastern and western sections of the site, and which are linked by a narrow footpath. Other than a gravel pit in the south-eastern corner, the site remained undeveloped until the establishment of The Bishop's Stortford High School, which dates from the 1950s onwards. The school buildings are located only in the eastern section of the site, whilst the western section comprises a grass playing field,and a modern pavilion. The western section of The Bishop's Stortford High School site is situated within an archaeological alert area, as designated by the local council. The archaeological alert area refers to Bronze Age pits, and a Romano-British cremation and occupation (HER 1090). The eastern part of the site has been truncated by a gravel pit, landscaping, and construction of the school buildings. |
