Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology on land to the east of Buntingford, Hertfordshire, on behalf of BSA Heritage for Taylor Wimpey UK Ltd. The remains of substantial palaeochannels drained to the west, following the natural topography, and cutting deep channels within the chalk bedrock. Ditches belonging to two enclosures had been previously identified by geophysical survey in the western half of the development area. The pottery from these suggested a late Iron Age to early Roman occupation within the 1st centuries BC to AD. Remnants of ridge and furrow field cultivation were present in the north-east of the site and a single pit was excavated that contained post-medieval pottery. |
