Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the groundworks associated with the construction of building 2 at Hitchin. The drainage trenches running along outside of the building footprint on the south-east and south-western sides, showed the effects of waterlogging towards the river bank but revealed no archaeological features. Two residual sherds of Romano-British pottery were recovered from the spoilheap of trench 2. The foundations for at least two post-medieval buildings were recorded in the footprint of Building 2, and a capped post-medieval well just outside the north-western elevation. It is likely that the buildings were 17th/18th century in date. [Au(adp)] |
