Abstract: |
A four trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Britannia Archaeology Ltd at 24 Dellsome Lane, Welham Green, North Mymms in Hertfordshire (NGR 523142 205562). The site had a high potential for finds and features associated with a moat of Medieval or Post-medieval date. The evaluation revealed five phases of activity, the most recent of which comprised the demolition of a 20th century bus depot and the removal of the concrete hard-standing. The second phase is represented by bus depot occupation activity in the form of a post-hole and a land drain located in Trenches 1 and 2, and a concrete capped service pipe present in Trench 3. Phase 3 comprises landscaping and demolition Layer 1001 that was recorded in Trenches 1 and 2 and contained post-medieval CBM and charcoal flecks believed to be the remains of structures that were demolished between 1877 and 1898 as suggested on the Ordnance Survey (OS) Maps. The fourth phase relates to the construction of the moat itself and is present within Trenches 3 and 4, it is believed to be of Medieval or Post-medieval origin. Phase 5 is the final and earliest of all present within the four trenches, it comprises a stage of agricultural use consisting of Layers 1014 and 1015. The layers remain undated, however they were cut by and therefore predate the moat. |
