Abstract: |
Aims In line with the requirements of the Brief (DBC 2020), the aims of the project were: • To establish the date, nature and extent of activity or occupation within the development area • To establish the relationship of any remains found to the surrounding contemporary landscape • To recover palaeo-environmental remains to determine local environmental conditions. Methods The fieldwork represented Stage One of the methods described in Section 2.3 of the approved WSI (Watson 2020). In line with the requirements of the Brief (DBC 2020), the methods used were as follows: • An archaeological field evaluation. The site as a whole is c.10393 m², though just over half of it is wooded or contains a root protection area and therefore unsuitable for trenching. Nine 25m x 1.8m trenches were proposed in the southwestern and central part of the site. These were excavated with a width of 2m to ensure that the required surface area was achieved. This was equivalent to 3.8% of the whole site and 8.2% of the accessible area. In October 2021 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook an Archaeological Evaluation at Paradise Fields, St Albans Road, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Nine trenches were excavated prior to the development of 58 apartments and associated amenities. No archaeological finds or features were identified during the project, most likely due to the distance of the site from any areas of significant pre-modern activity |
