Abstract: |
In May 2007 Albion Archaeology carried out the archaeological observation of improvement works at St Katherine's Church, Ickleford, Hertfordshire .The church stands in the middle of the village of Ickleford, which is located in north Hertfordshire, to the east of Letchworth.The improvement works comprised the installation of a drainage pipe along the south side of the church. This involved the excavation of a trench approximately 25m long, 0.30m wide and 0.45m deep. The trench was excavated by mechanical mini digger and, where necessary, by hand with pick-axe and shovel. Excavation of the trench was carried out by the appointed building contractors under archaeological supervision. No archaeological features or deposits were found, either in section or plan, within the excavated pipe trench. To the east of the porch, excavated material comprised orange brown silt sand which contained pieces of worked limestone, tile, brick and large flint nodules. The worked stone, brick and tile were 19th century in date and were recovered in front of the door leading to the chapel. It is believed that this material originally formed part of the make-up of a paved entranceway which may have been demolished and dumped during the renovation works carried out in 1859. Exposed wall footings revealed within the trench comprised at least five courses of bricks beneath the aisle and chapel walls. There was no obvious significant foundation or consolidation beneath the walls of the porch. |
