Abstract: |
In January 2008 an archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken of land adjacent to Shootersway and Durrants Lane, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, to provide information on the potential impact of future development on the archaeological and historical environment of the area. The only significant archaeological feature recorded in the immediate vicinity of the site is the prehistoric territorial boundary known as Grim's Ditch, the alignment of which crosses the site from east to west. No other archaeological features or finds have been recorded on the site. Apart from the buildings of the Egerton-Rothesay School the site appears to have undergone little disturbance other than agricultural use. In conclusion, the archaeological potential of the site is assessed to be mostly low, with a higher potential on the projected alignment of Grim's Ditch. |
