Abstract: |
The excavations at Leavesden Park uncovered the remains of the post-medieval and modern agricultural landscape that preceded the development of the airfield and aircraft factories in 1940. These remains comprised field boundaries, gravel pits, the probable remains of orchard planting and a parallel arrangement of two lines of closely-set, sub-rectangular pits of uncertain function that ran parallel to one of the field boundaries. Many of the field boundaries correspond with those shown on 19th-century maps of the area. Evidence for earlier activity, particularly dating to the prehistoric period, was sparse; with the probable exception of a solitary prehistoric posthole, no features could be dated with any certainty to this period. |
