Abstract: |
A trial trench evaluation was carried out at the Cintel Site, Watton Road, Ware, Hertfordshire. No archaeological features were encountered, with the exception of a possible pit that contained an abraded sherd of 18th-century pottery. The sequence of deposits was broadly similar in all three trenches, with terrace gravels being located at a depth of c 0.8-1.2m below modern ground level. Overlying the gravel was a subsoil horizon, in places comprising two distinct layers, and vestiges of topsoil. These were sealed by made-ground that had been laid down to form a base for tarmac surfaces, or concrete hard-standing that was subsequently surfaced with tarmac. These surfaces were associated with the former factory building that stood on the west side of Watton House, prior to its demolition in the 1990s, or the current car park. |
