Abstract: |
In July 2015 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at 26-32 Fish Street, Redbourn, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1075 1208). The evaluation was commissioned by Oakbridge Homes and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of three residential blocks and the conversion of No. 32 Fish Street to create 12 new 2-bedroom apartments, amenity space and access following demolition of some existing buildings and the clearance of a former scrap yard. The site is located within Area AS.R.5 as identified on the Local Plan, which encompasses the Saxon and medieval core of Redbourn. The latter developed along Roman Watling Street at its crossing point over the River Ver. The site also lies a short distance to the north-east of the remains of a Benedictine Priory. Prehistoric flint artefacts are also known from the vicinity. The site was considered to have good archaeological potential for remains spanning the Mesolithic to post-medieval/ early modern periods. In the event the evaluation encountered modern (19th - 20th century) industrial archaeology, mostly comprising made ground deposits relating to the site's former use as a gasworks, and latterly, as a scrap yard. A concrete floor surface was encountered in Trial Trench 1. |
