Abstract: |
Class 6 Scheduled Monument Consent was granted through English Heritage for the excavation of postholes to allow the installation of two English Heritage information panels at Old Gorhambury House, Hertfordshire. At the request of English Heritage an archaeologist was present to monitor the excavation of the postholes and record any possible archaeological information revealed. In situ archaeological deposits exposed during the watching brief consisted of one horizontal brick found at a depth of 0.44m in one of the postholes of Panel 2 which may or may not have been part of a brick-built structure. It was left undisturbed at that depth with the concrete and panel post placed on top. The remaining deposits exposed represent accumulation of soil over the ruined building remains. The two larger stone blocks, visible in the original postholes for Panel 1, and the flint, brick and mortar inclusions in the deposits removed for the postholes of both panels, probably originate from the nearby building walls after their destruction and/or collapse. |
