Abstract: |
In February 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 1 Mount Pleasant, St Albans, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 14350 07305). The evaluation was commissioned by Beechwood Homes, and was undertaken as a pre-planning requirement following a pre-application consultation prior to submission of a planning application to demolish the existing dwelling and construct 7No residential dwellings with associated garaging and landscaping. A large ?Roman quarry pit (F1011), and an undated ditch (F1009) were recorded in Trench 3. Fourteen sherds of abraded Roman (late 1st - 2nd century) pottery derived from a jar made locally was found within Pit F1011. The undated ditch contained charcoal. Residual medieval (12th - 14th century) pottery was found within Made Ground L1001 (Trench 1), L1002 (Trench 1) and Subsoil L1007 (Trench 3). The site contained significant deposits of post-medieval and modern made ground. The evaluation also revealed the remains of a post-medieval (16th - 18th century) building comprising a flint wall located to the front of the existing modern bungalow. |
