Abstract: |
The site is located to the northwest of the centre of Stevenage, within a housing estate that is bounded by the M1 motorway to the west and Clovelly Way to the east. The development area, to the rear of 40 Fishers Green, is surrounded by residential dwellings and Fishers Green, which encircles that part of the housing estate Land immediately to the south of the house was the subject of an archaeological evaluation in April 2013, which revealed a large quarry or brick earth extraction pit that contained a number of presumably residual, worn and abraded pottery sherds of 17th to 19th century date in the backfill. Despite the discovery of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic artefacts in the vicinity of the site no archaeological features and finds dating to these periods were present within the evaluation trench. Only one shallow linear feature was revealed in the evaluation trench. It contained a single sherd of pottery dated to 17th to 19th century and a few fragments of brick and tile that were all post-medieval or modern in date. The feature is likely to be a gully/garden feature or a primitive drain. The absence of any significant remains suggests that the development will have little impact upon the archaeological record. |
