Abstract: |
In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Woodhall Arms PH, 17 High Road, Stapleford. The evaluation was necessary to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition on approval for conversion of the public house and construction of housing in its yard. The site had potential for buried remains associated with the medieval and post-medieval settlement of Stapleford, and for remains of the earlier structures which pre-date the existing public house. The project encountered 20 features, distributed evenly between two trenches. The majority were pits and postholes. Trench 2 also contained a section of ditch. Finds from these features comprise 18th to 19th century pottery and 19th century ceramic building materials. A single, residual sherd of South Hertfordshire greyware, of late 12th to mid 14th century date, was recovered from the ditch. Trench 3 contained a peat deposit containing abundant waterlogged plant material. This context appears to represent the organic, waterlogged fill of a channel or natural depression, located close to a broadly parallel stream. |
