Abstract: |
In July 2017 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out trial trench evaluation at Pynesfield, off Tilehouse Lane, Maple Cross, Hertfordshire (NGR TQ 02800 90730). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a temporary haul road. Trench 6 contained mixed colluvial deposits within its fill, which ranged from pure silts to deposits with a high flint component. The trench is located at the break of slope between gently rising ground to the south, east and west. The current ground surface at Trench 6 lies at approximately 45m AOD, with the ground cresting at c.48m approximately 250m to the east and c.55m AOD some 200m to the west. The trench is also towards the break in slope for rising ground to the south, which reaches a high point of c.63m approximately 175m to the south east. The colluvium is likely to have multiple sources from the slopes to the south, east and west, and most likely represents multiple erosion events over a prolonged period of time. The evaluation revealed a modern drain, but no archaeological features or finds. |
