Abstract: |
From November 2015 to February 2016, Archaeological Solutions Limited conducted a programme of 'strip, map and record' on land adjacent to No. 9 Hadham Road, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire. The investigation was undertaken during groundworks associated with the construction of a new dwelling on the south side of Hadham Road close to North Street within the medieval and later settlement core of Bishop's Stortford. 19th century structures occupy plots to either side and beyond 17th century and earlier buildings remain extant. The project found the remains of structures which corresponded well with buildings on historic Ordnance Survey maps. They were built of unfrogged red brick and in their form and appearance were entirely consistent with a mid-19th century date. This was supported by fragments of pottery and pan-tile recovered from made ground and layers associated with the demolition of the buildings in the mid-20th century. Other features recorded were undated but included a short alignment of three post-holes which may have related to more ephemeral structures on the north side of the site outlined on historic maps in the late 19th century, and a small number of features closer to the brick walls. Monitoring revealed that site had suffered ground disturbance associated with both the construction of the buildings and their demolition. |
