Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. carried out an archaeological watching brief on contamination remediation and an evaluation by trial trenching at 23 Glencoe Road, Bushey, Hertfordshire. The watching brief revealed that much of the southern half of the site had been heavily truncated by 20th-century building construction and the excavation of drainage runs. There was also up to 1.50m of modern made ground at the western edge of the site, though a potential archaeological feature was recorded towards the south-east corner. The northern half of the site had also suffered from truncation though a ditch of Tudor date, two medieval pits and two medieval postholes were observed. Further features, such as postholes and gullies, of medieval and post-medieval date were also observed towards the centre and south-east of the site. Residual finds of Roman date were of some significance as little evidence of Roman activity has previously been recorded in the vicinity. |
