Abstract: |
In April 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological 'strip, map and sample' investigation at the Garage Site, Chapelfields, Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire. This was followed by monitoring and recording. Earlier evidence includes a Roman cremation burial found some 32m away to the north-east of the site. The project encountered a large cluster of (mostly) intercutting pits and postholes. Several of the features forming this cluster contained dumps of redeposited burnt material/ charcoal-rich middens. Postholes cut into the base of the largest pit suggested the presence of an earlier, timber structure. Four pits yielded late Anglo-Saxon to early medieval (10th to 12th century AD) pottery. Five sherds of residual early Bronze Age or late Iron Age pottery were also present. |
