Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted on appeal for the construction of two two-bedroom, semi-detached cottages at land between 33 and 43 High Street, London Colney, Hertfordshire. As the development site lies in the historic core of London Colney, a condition (no. 14) was placed on the planning permission requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological work. The first stage of this work comprised trial trench evaluation. The evaluation took the form of a 12.5m-long by 1.6m-wide trench that was excavated across the footprint of the proposed dwellings. The trial trenching revealed part of a ditch and four postholes along with some modern disturbance. The ditch and the postholes found within the trench are likely to be associated with yard activities, possibly relating to dwellings fronting the High Street. The ditch may date to the late medieval to post-medieval period; the postholes are likely to be more modern. The features are unlikely to represent structures or activities of significance. They are of limited, local archaeological interest and have no potential to address regional research frameworks. |
