Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land off Tylers Close, Buntingford in advance of housing development. Fifteen evaluation trenches, each measuring 30m long by 1.6m wide, were excavated across the 1.76ha site. No remains of prehistoric, Roman or Saxon date were identified, although two probably residual sherds of Roman pottery and a certainly residual Roman roof tile were recovered from later features. Medieval features included a ditch in Trench 14, at the south-east end of the site, and a gully in Trench 4, in the central area, both of which were dated to the 13th to 14th centuries, while a series of parallel gullies to the south-west, in Trench 9, were most likely of agricultural or horticultural origin and produced post-medieval artefacts. Large numbers of features were discovered in trench 5; however, the majority of them were either poorly or completely undated. Overall, while there is undoubtedly a scattering of archaeological features across the site, with the exception of the medieval remains in the central and south-east part of the site, their low numbers and late date suggest the development will have a limited impact upon the archaeological record. |
