Abstract: |
In June 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring in association with the residential conversion of Pishiobury House, Pishiobury Drive, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. The monitoring was undertaken in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the residential conversion of the 18th century mansion. Monitoring of ground reduction and the excavation of service trenches was conducted on the west and north sides of the mansion. Numerous modern services were recorded as well as layers of made ground. Of most note was a mixed layer which consisted principally of red brick rubble which was probably linked with the deposition of a section of masonry, also of red brick, and representing the raising of ground level using material from an earlier phase of the house or from demolition of an outbuilding. The foundations of the mansion were also exposed on the north side of the house and included a red brick buttress supporting a pilaster above. |
