Abstract: |
Aims The aims of this project as defined in the approved WSI (Horsley 2021) were: • To establish the date, nature and extent of activity or occupation within the development area • To determine the presence/absence of the medieval moat and bank • To establish the relationship of any remains found to the surrounding contemporary landscape • To recover palaeo-environmental remains to determine local environmental conditions. Methods Following discussion with the County Archaeology Officer, the following method agreed: • A single trench measuring 15 x 1.8m was to be excavated within the footprint of the tennis court with a contingency for a further 2m2 to resolve queries if required Stage Two: An appraisal of the results of the evaluation and their significance with regard to the proposed development. This report only concerns Stage 1 of investigations. The methods used on site deviated slightly from those stated in the WSI and were agreed by the County Archaeological Officer before the evaluation started. In June 2021 and Archaeological Evaluation was undertaken at Mymms Hall, South Mimms, Hertfordshire, in order to fulfil Conditions 3-5 of Listed Building Consent for the construction of a tennis court. A single trench was excavated to the south of a large bank running through the garden that marks the boundary of a medieval moat. However, no evidence of a moat or any other archaeological features were revealed in the excavated trench. |
