Abstract: |
In order to investigate the archaeological potential of land at Highfield Farm, Burrs Lane, Barkway, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake an archaeological field evaluation in order to meet a condition on the planning consent. Seven trenches were excavated across the site, a residential development on the site of a former chicken farm. Four of these trenches contained archaeological features. Four boundary ditches (two Roman and two of unknown date) and a single Roman pit. No other archaeological finds, features or deposits were present in any of the trial trenches. On the basis of the results of the trial trenching, the risk that the proposed development might disturb remains of archaeological significance may be considered to be Moderate - High for Roman and Low for all other periods. |
