Abstract: |
Groudnworks for an extension to the outbuilding was granted by East Hertfordshire District Council subject to an archaeological condition. Falcon House is situated on the eastern side of the junction of Stortford Road and the High Street, near the centre of Standon. The study area comprises a Grade II listed building, the former Falcon public house, its outbuildings and grounds. The Falcon is first documented in a will from 1686 and its location in the historic core of Standon would suggest that it is occupying a site that has been used since at least the medieval period. The groundworks consisted of a single trench. The trench was 0.6m wide, between 1.1m and 1.5m deep and had a total length of 11.55m. No archaeological features were seen in the trench. A late 19th century or early 20th century red brick service structure was encountered in the south eastern end of the trench along with a 20th century drain and concrete building footings. The investigation has concluded that the concrete footings for the extension to the outbuilding will not impact upon any archaeology and that any archaeological features, finds or deposits will be preserved in situ. |
