Abstract: |
In January and February 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation of land at Reed House, Jacksons Lane, Reed, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 3638 3650). The evaluation was commissioned by Mr David Tait of Reed House, and was undertaken in advance of the determination of a planning appeal for a residential development on land rear of the house. The site lies to the immediate north of Reed's Conservation Area (CA). The site also lies between two Areas of Archaeological Significance (Nos. 60 and 71), as designated on the North Herts Local Plan. The historic core of Reed is located to the south and the second alert area is centred on cropmarks of a rectilinear enclosure to the north. The site had a potential for prehistoric, Romano-British and medieval archaeological remains. In the event the evaluation revealed five ditches and two pits. The features were mainly located within the northern part of the site. Only one ditch yielded dating evidence; Ditch F1015 contained an abraded medieval (12th -14th century) sherds. A small number of finds comprising animal bone, antlers and daub suggest the presence of settlement in the area. |
