Abstract: |
In August 2016 KDK Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at the Land Adjacent to Elm House, The Causeway, Therfield, Hertfordshire in advance of the construction of a new dwelling and associated garage. The evaluation revealed a ditch most likely used as a land boundary, rubbish pits and gullies also used for land boundaries or land drainage. The features contained finds that included mostly Saxo-Norman or medieval pottery and some residual Romano-British pottery as well as a small assemblage of animal bone deriving from both, food and non-food animals, likely representing general refuse from food, butchery and possibly antler working. Two residual, possibly Neolithic or Bronze Age flint tools were recovered from Medieval contexts. Overall the findings indicate well established settlement activity was present dating from the Saxo-Norman and into the medieval period in the immediate vicinity of the excavation. |
