Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned by Russell Linard of Garrard Developments Ltd. to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land to rear of 40 Fishers Green, Stevenage, in advance of the construction of two semi-detached houses A small undated feature revealed in trench 1 may be a posthole resulting from the construction of a fence or similar structure associated with the house, while a large feature discovered at the southeast end of trench 2 is most likely a quarry or brick earth extraction pit dating from the second half of the 17th century or later. The majority of datable finds appear to belong to the second half of the 17th century and the earlier material, which includes a fragment of Roman CBM and three sherds of early/mid 13th to 14th century medieval pottery is likely to be residual. However, the presence of a fragment of late 17th to 19th century brick may suggest that virtually all of the material is residual, most likely having been discarded in the former quarry or brick earth extraction pit. |
