Abstract: |
In June and July 2015 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of archaeological observation at Six Tunnels Farm, Gaddesden Row, Hertfordshire. Six site visits were made during the construction of a new access road to the southeast of the existing house. The general stratigraphy of the site lacks subsoil, suggesting that there has been disturbance in this area, probably as a result of either deep ploughing or general landscaping of the area during the construction of Six Tunnels Farm. On completion of the strip, one area of rooting, [102], and one tree bole, [104], were uncovered; both contained pottery. The pottery found in rooting [102] is possibly early to mid-Iron Age and as such would represent the first indication of activity from that period in the vicinity. Pottery from tree bole [104] dates from the medieval period, most likely the 14th - 15th century. |
