Abstract: |
In October 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Ekins and Co, 3A, Great Northern Works, Hartham Lane, Hertford, Hertfordshire SG14 1QW (NGR 532466 212852; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a two storey detached building for office use in accordance with user classes B1, B2 and B8 (EHDC Planning Ref. 3/17/0471/FUL), based on the advice of Hertfordshire County Council Historic Environment Advisory Team (HCC HEAT). The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, as noted on the Hertfordshire Historic Environment Record (HER), within an area designated as Area of Archaeological Significance No. 62 on the Local Plan. This identifies the extent of the historic core of the late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval town of Hertford. Early modern historic cartographic sources suggest that the site remained relatively undeveloped despite its proximity to Cowbridge Railway Station and McMullens Brewery. Janelle House is a Grade II listed former furniture showroom, now building contractor's offices built c. 1905 and commonly known as the Great Northern Works. The evaluation revealed a pit (F1000) and an undated ditch (F1004). The date of the pit was not positively established; it contained a crumb of post-medieval CBM. Of most interest is the large ditch F1002. It was 3.88m wide and 0.72m+ deep, and orientated NE / SW. Its date is uncertain as it contained medieval (late 12th - 14th century) pottery (2; 32g) and post-medieval CBM (267g |
