Abstract: |
In order to assess the archaeological risk posed by a proposal to part demolish structures and to erect detached dwellings at Potter's Hall Farm, Potter's Green, Little Munden, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Marchfield Developments Ltd to undertake a desk-based archaeological assessment of the site. The map evidence shows that the study area has been occupied by a farm since at least the late 18th century. The farm buildings have undergone significant changes in layout since then. This is likely to have had an impact on the western side of the study area. The eastern and southern sides have remained undeveloped since the 18th century, but parts at least have been subject to ploughing since the early 1970s. The place name evidence suggests a medieval pottery industry close to the study area, and this is supported by the nearby discovery of a kiln and quantities of medieval pottery. On the basis of the known evidence, there is a moderate to high risk that archaeological remains, particularly of the medieval period, survive on the eastern and southern sides of the present site, which appear to have remained largely undeveloped since at least the late 18th century. The actual nature of any surviving remains can only be characterised with certainty by intrusive investigation. |
