Abstract:
In order to record the historic building and investigate the archaeological potential of a proposed new residential development at The White Horse Hotel, Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake a programme of investigation, comprising historic building recording and trial trenching. The historic building record has demonstrated the survival of original features within the core of the 16th century building. It has also indicated that the North Range at least was likely to have been open to the roof timbers, with a decorative arch forming part of the roof structure. The archaeological evaluation of the study area has demonstrated that the ground has undergone significant disturbance to the west of the present hotel building and therefore the archaeological potential in this area has been reduced. Investigation of the grassed area to the south of the hotel demonstrated an undisturbed geological sequence. Five discreet features were revealed within the trench, three pits, a possible pit and a brick culvert. Three of the pits produced abraded fragments of post-medieval ceramic building material and animal bone, indicating their possible use as rubbish pits. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risks that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains of any significance, may be considered to be High for the post-medieval period and Low for all other periods.
