Abstract: |
In response to a condition for the redevelopment of nos 1-5 Baldock Stret and 3-5 Lower King Street ,Royston, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developers to undertake an archaeological evaluation. Two 5m trenches were excavated in the northern part of the site. Trench 1, orientated east-west, revealed the floor and external wall of a probable stable. Below the floor were the heavily truncated remains of a row of post- or stake-holes and a posthole containing the remains of a wooden post dating to the 19th century. A further posthole, revealed east of the possible stable, contained two handmade nails. Trench 2, orientated north-south, was located in the eastern part of the site parallel to Lower King Street. A cellar and series of structural remains dating from the late 18th/early 19th century to recent times were revealed. Trench 2 was then extended eastwards to assess the extent of the cellar. The earliest remains appear to be a brick- lined well, which was located on the street frontage and immediately below a 19th century wall aligned east-west. To the north of the well was a coal chute. A vehicle inspection pit which was orientated east-west and an oil storage tank had been built into the cellar in recent times. |
