Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group between the 19th and 21st March 2007 at the site of Middlesex University, Hatchcroft Development, Hendon, on behalf of BPR Architects. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the proposed redevelopment on any surviving archaeological remains. The evaluation comprised five machine excavated trenches, of various sizes ranging from 7m by 2m, to 27m by 2m. Two trenches contained archaeological features. These features comprised an 18th century ditch, a post-medieval pond, and a smaller undated ditch. All features encountered are thought to be linked with landscaping associated with the construction of Grove House in 1753, immediately to the west of the site. The evaluation trenches showed that 19th and 20th century disturbance and truncation of deposits had occurred in the southwest and central areas of site. The evaluation trenches also demonstrated that undisturbed soil horizons were present in the northwest area of the site. No archaeological features associated with earlier phases of activity were encountered on site. |
