Abstract: |
In June 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological monitoring and recording at Gorhambury Estate, St Albans, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1236 0836). The monitoring was commissioned by Strutt and Parker LLP - Land Management in compliance with a requirement of St Albans City and District Council District Archaeologist (SADC), as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. The monitoring was conducted during the groundworks for underground BT cables. The site lies within a farm complex and Gorhambury residential estate just outside of St Albans, c.3km north-west of the town centre. It lies to the immediate west and north-west of Roman Verulamium with Watling Street crossing the estate northwest/ south-east. It is also situated within an estate dating to the medieval period. Therefore the site had a potential for Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains. In the event the monitoring revealed an undated archaeological feature, possibly a ditch. |
