Abstract:		 In March 2008 and April 2009 Archaeological Solutions carried out a programme of historic building monitoring / recording and archaeological monitoring and recording at the Sportsman PH, 117 Fore Street, Hertford. The historic building monitoring / recording revealed that the building originated in the early-mid 18th century as a timber-framed 'L' plan house. A range extending at the rear of the building is essentially of 20th century date, although 19th century map evidence suggests that parts of it were preceded by earlier structures. Within the building a number of original features remain, most notably the staircase which rises from the ground floor through to the attic. The first floor landing has two 18th century arches and a cupboard which retains its hinges. In addition, the east and west chimney stacks, one or possibly two doors and some first floor skirting remain. Monitoring of interventions to the fabric of the building revealed that some original primary-braced timber framing survives at ground floor level, most notably on the east side of Room 2, while substantial original framing survives at first floor level in Rooms 10 and 11, and likely within Room 9. Removal of a small strip of floor boarding at first floor level also revealed that many of the original floor joists survive within Room 11, with scribed assembly marks. The archaeological remains revealed during the programme of monitoring and recording comprised a 19th century red brick wall foundation. This likely comprises part of the boundary wall seen on the OS maps of 1880 and 1898, which enclosed a small courtyard at the rear of the building. However, by the production of the 1923 OS map this boundary wall was no longer extant.
