Abstract: |
In order to determine the archaeological risk posed by a proposal for new development on land to the rear of 84 Tilehouse Street, Hitchin, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Lauren Homes Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation. A single trial trench measuring 1.5 x 9.7m was excavated across the footprint of the new building. The natural geology of sandy silt and gravel was encountered at a depth of c.1.20-1.40m below the existing ground level. Two shallow postholes were observed cut into the natural in the northeast end of the trench, one of which yielded fragments of tile of late post-medieval date. |
