Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning permission for a replacement garage and extension at Thatch End, Furneux Pelham, Herts, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to undertake the archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. The garage construction revealed a modern brick built septic tank and fragments of footings from a 19th century garden feature or outbuilding. The house extension revealed three further fragments of footings and an underlying chalk floor surface. These, too, are likely to be associated with a post-medieval garden feature or outbuilding. The study area appears to be located at the southern margin of the medieval settlement, and the present buildings are 18th century in date. Terracing of the site to create a platform for the house and its outbuildings is likely to have destroyed or severely truncated any evidence for earlier activity on the site. In the limited confines of the footings trenches no evidence for medieval or earlier activity on the site was identified. |
