Abstract: |
This report describes the results of a three-trench archaeological evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at No. 21 Knight Street, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire on13th-14th March 2014 and subsequent one-trench archaeological evaluation and monitoring of the site on 15th May, 17th June and 7th July 2014. The archaeological work was in response to a planning condition attached to residential development. The evaluation identified two undated pits, two ditches running east-west in Trench 3 and one large ditch in Trench 1. Both of these ditches appear to be Saxo-Norman in date. The ditches are perpendicular to Knight Street and head towards the River Stort and may represent part of Sawbridgeworth's manorial boundary. The additional Trench 4 located the continuation of the two ditches in Trench 3, with the northern ditch continuing to run perpendicular to Knight Street while the southern ditch changed direction to a northwest-southeast alignment. No archaeological features were seen in Trench 2 or the monitoring of the footings for the house, garage and services of 21A Knight Street. The results of the fieldwork enhance our understanding of the medieval development of this part of Sawbridgeworth and can be characterised as being of local significance. |
