Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning consent for the construction of an extension to the existing house at 7 New Place, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. It was considered that the present project could provide the opportunity to investigate the origins and development of settlement in Welwyn from the prehistoric period onwards. The groundworks for the development revealed that the present site had been terraced into the slope to the north, probably when the existing house was built. This is likely to have removed any archaeological features or deposits. The stratigraphic sequence revealed in the footings trenches consisted of chalk bedrock, overlain by natural sandy clay, overburden and topsoil No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were revealed during the course of the present project. |
