Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August and September 2016 on land north of Little Hadham, Hertfordshire. Fifty-one trenches were excavated. Three possible foci of late prehistoric activity, including a sub-square enclosure with internal structures, were identified within the proposed road corridor. Possible evidence for late prehistoric clay extraction and a late prehistoric linear boundary were recorded at the eastern and western ends of the corridor respectively. A Roman enclosure was recorded in the centre of the site, with evidence for settlement activity, consisting of a single length of enclosure ditch and three pits. A north-west to south-east aligned droveway, containing Romano-British pottery was also recorded, connecting the enclosure with the route of Stane Street. |
