Abstract: |
In October 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Hilldyke Road, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1807 1322). The evaluation was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey UK Ltd, and was undertaken in support of the promotion of a site for residential development. In the event only Trial Trench 4 contained features. Ditch F1003 and Pits F1005 and F1007 were recorded. None of the features contained finds, and it was thought on site that Ditch F1003 and Pit F1007 may be natural features. Pit F1005 may have represented part of a shallow, curvilinear gully (possibly structural) mostly obscured by the edge of excavation. This Colluvium, L1009, was present in Trench 11 and may obscure archaeological features. However, only three features were recorded (in Trench 4) and two were thought to be possibly natural. None of the features contained finds, and no finds were recorded during the metal detecting survey. The metal detecting survey did not reveal metal finds. Three struck flints of possible late Neolithic / early Bronze Age date were found during the survey |
