Abstract: |
In order to determine the archaeological risk posed by a proposal to construct a new house on land to the rear of Lewesford House, Upper Tilehouse Street, Hitchin, the Heritage Network was commissioned by B A Triner and Sons to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation. Following the results of the evaluation, the groundworks associated with the development were archaeolgically monitored. For the evaluation stage a single trench was excavated within the footprint of the proposed structure. The trench measured 1.6 x 10m, was 1.3m in depth, and was aligned northeast- southwest. Two features were revealed within the trench, a small boundary ditch of late bronze/early iron age date, and a post medieval rubbish pit. The monitoring of the footings trenches associated with the development revealed a post medieval boundary or drainage ditch. |
