Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on land off Tylers Close, Buntingford, between April and July 2012, during the course of residential development. The work followed on from an earlier evaluation that uncovered a scattering of possible medieval and later features, primarily of agricultural origin, in the central and south-eastern part of the site. Two small pits and a pond were discovered in area 2, while area 3 contained three parallel, east-west aligned and evenly spaced small ditches that, along with a series of similar ditches noted in evaluation trench 5 to the south, appeared to form part of a small field/ cultivation plot. All features apart from the pond, which contained modern finds, were undated. No firm evidence for any Roman or prehistoric activity was noted and from the results of the evaluation and subsequent monitoring it is suggested that the site lay on the edge of the medieval and post-medieval town and all of the features encountered were associated with the agricultural/ horticultural use of the land over time. |
