Abstract: |
A six-trench archaeological evaluation was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at 61 Station Road, Ashwell, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 27433 39873) on 11th - 12th June 2014. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Miller Homes, in advance of proposed residential development. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the site. The evaluation identified a cluster of post-medieval chalk quarry pits. These were cut through a buried plough-soil deriving from use of the site as arable farmland up until the c. 1930s. Apart from a single small modern pit and a tree hollow, no other archaeological features were present. The results of the trial-trenching are of limited significance. |
