Abstract: |
In July and August 2017, AS carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at Benington Park Farm, Benington, Hertfordshire, following historic building recording. The investigation encountered an early drainage system associated with the Benington Park estate. The system lay on the east side of the barn and consisted of a small brick-arched culvert constructed of red brick consistent with an 18th century, or perhaps very early 19th century, date. Above the culvert were a series of made ground layers. These contained no dating evidence, though the upper layer was a demolition layer containing many tile pieces consistent with a 17th to19th century date, these presumably removed from the barn itself prior to the replacement of the roof in ironwork. Within the barn, 20th century activity removed almost all traces of previous floors apart from at the north end, where a brick floor surface partially survived over levelling layers along with the footing of a probable 19th century brick wall. |
