Abstract: |
In March 2018 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out trial trench evaluation on land at Rye Street/Farnham Road, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, before construction of housing, and following geophysics. The archaeological features recorded during the trial trenching were present in the northern sector of the site, and most dense in two of the trenches. Some of the features were possibly natural. The features largely comprised ditches, and some pits. One ditch may correlate with a boundary on the Tithe map of 1839, with other potentially parallel or perpendicular land divisions in the northern half of the site possibly also related to the late post-medieval agricultural landscape, which was transformed by the expansion of fields in the 19th century. Finds were sparse and the dated finds comprised post-medieval (18th - 19th century) CBM from two of the ditches. |
