Abstract: |
Between 10th of December 2012 and 16th January 2013, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at the site of the former Black Lion Inn, 194-198 Fishpool Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire (centred on NGR TL 13905 07495). The monitoring and recording was commissioned by Thorne Barton Estates Ltd in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the conversion of the inn to three residential dwellings. The site is located just outside the Roman town of Verulamium and numerous Romano-British remains have been found in the vicinity. A possible Romano-British malting oven and a Romano-British well (HHER 14279) were found at the site in 1994. The site also lies within an area designated AS.R.25 on the Local Plan, which encompasses the area of Saxon Kingsbury, the Saxon/ medieval town of St Albans and Sopwell Nunnery. The site had high potential for archaeological remains, particularly those of Romano-British and medieval date. In the event the monitoring and recording encountered two 19th century features - a soakaway and large pit - and four undated pits. Previous findings on the site include a Romano-British well, three possible medieval wells, six medieval pits and a Romano-British/ medieval malting oven. The general lack of archaeological remains was thought to relate to the significant, modern truncation of the monitored areas. |
