Abstract: |
Between July and September 2015 and in February 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at Wheathampstead House Preparatory School, Codicote Road, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1780 1440). The monitoring was commissioned by St Albans High School for Girls in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the improvements to the school facilities and the change of use of Lodge Cottages. The site lies within an area of archaeological potential identified as AS.R.15 on the Local Plan. The latter encompasses the core area and hinterland of the Saxon and medieval village of Wheathampstead. The site comprises the existing school buildings and grounds. Lodge Cottages and Wheathampstead House are locally listed. The site had a potential for medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains. In the event the monitoring revealed no archaeological features or finds with the exception of a modern wall foundation. Within the southern part of the complex in the area adjacent to Lodge Cottages alluvial deposits were revealed and were associated with the natural landscape of the Lea valley. |
