Abstract: |
Between February 2011 and April 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at McMullen's Brewery site, Hartham Lane, Hertford, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 32470 12845). The monitoring was commissioned by Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd, and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a new food store, conversion of former brewery buildings, creation of a new car park and footbridge, landscaping and associated works. The site is located within Area of Archaeological Significance (AAS) No. 172 as identified on the East Hertfordshire Local Plan. This includes the area of late Saxon defended settlement, the Saxon and medieval town of Hertford and its royal castle and the post-medieval settlement of the town. The site had potential to contain important palaeoenvironmental information associated with alluvial deposits, potential to reveal evidence of the northern Saxon burh and medieval activity, and to contain evidence of 18th and 19th century domestic and industrial use of the site. In the event the monitoring confirmed the presence of an alluvial deposit in the north-eastern part of the site identified in geoarchaeological investigation. A timber pale of probably late 19th century origin was retrieved from the river bank. |
