Abstract: |
In August 2017, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of pro-active archaeological observation, monitoring and recording at the Clockhouse Nursery, Forty Hill, Enfield, EN2 9EU (LB Enfield; NGR TQ 34105 98405; Figs. 1 - 2). The monitoring was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for a new single storey building for use as an ancillary sales, display and check out area following demolition of the existing building at the site (LB Enfield Planning Approval Ref. 16/02419/FUL). It was required based on the advice of Historic England Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (HE GLAAS). The site lies within a large area identified as having a high archaeological potential (LB Enfield Archaeological Priority Area), centred on Forty Hill, Whitewebbs Hill and Bulls Cross (GLHER DLO35150). The area is identified as a multi-period site that includes Ermine Street, medieval manors, post-medieval Elsynge Palace and the scheduled Flash Road Aqueduct, as well as the settlements of Clay Hill and Forty Hill. The proximity of the area of the Turkey Brook and the old course of the New River indicates it would have been conducive to early exploitation and settlement from the Palaeolithic period onwards (MoLAS 2000). In the event the monitoring revealed no archaeological features or finds. |
