Abstract: |
In December 2009 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd undertook evaluation of the southern part of Tring Road Allotments in advance of proposed incorporation of this area into Tring Road Cemetery. The allotments are to be incorporated into the cemetery in at least two phases; this report presents results of the evaluation of the area affected by Phase 1 of the development only. Evaluation was required because previous discoveries within and surrounding the allotments had indicated that the site may contain burials of the Saxon period. The evaluation did not reveal burials of any period and little evidence of activity pre-dating the medieval period was observed. Results illustrate that the area was in use as arable land during the medieval and post-medieval periods; significant truncation and reworking of soils and natural sediments was identified and it is suggested that ploughing and recent use of the site as allotments will have destroyed any shallow archaeological features which may have been present. The results of the evaluation indicate that incorporation of the Phase 1 area into the cemetery is unlikely to have a significant impact on archaeological remains. |
