Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of the property at 41 High Street Henlow, The redevelopment comprised the conversion of the existing building into four flats, including the demolition and reconstruction of the rear part of the building; and the construction of seven new buildings, as well as associated access, parking and landscaping. Due to the archaeological potential of the permitted development area a condition was attached to the decision notice, requiring a staged programme of archaeological inv Archaeological evaluation undertaken in 2011 focused on the western half of the area. This revealed extensive make-up deposits of post-medieval to modern date, with occasional associated features comprising pathways and a ditch. A series of earlier archaeological features comprised shallow, perpendicular, ditched boundaries, which were tentatively dated to the Saxo-Norman period on the basis of a very small pottery assemblage. The open-area excavation took place between 20th and 31st January 2020. It consisted of three areas n the eastern half , The open-area excavations revealed five pits, two ditches, remains of a cellar, one modern pit and two tree-throws. Three of the pits produced sherds of 12th-13th-century pottery. No earlier remains were revealed within the open-area excavations, suggesting that the possible Saxo-Norman activity recorded within the trial trenching was focused towards the brook in the western half |
