Abstract: |
In response to a planning condition on a side extension at 3 The Orchard, Baldock, Hertfordshire, SG7 6DE, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Donovan to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring on the development groundworks. Planning permission for the development (17/01215/1HH) was granted by North Herts District Council (NHDC), subject to standard archaeological conditions issued under the provisions set out in the Department of Communities and Local Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). A full specification for the work carried out is contained in the Heritage Network's approved Project Design, dated October 2017.The proposed development entails the construction of a single storey extension at the rear and side of the existing house.The foundation trench was located on the northwest corner of the house, forming an L shape.The exposed stratigraphy was fairly uniform and consisted of grass-covered modern topsoil, over a layer of made ground, which lay over a good solid geology of topsoil, subsoil and chalk natural. Three fragments of pottery and some animal bone were recovered from the modern made ground and therefore identified as residual. No further archaeological features, deposits or finds were encountered during the course of the present investigation and no evidence for activity pre-dating the post-medieval period was noted. No information was gained that could be considered to contribute to the research aims for the project, as defined in the approved Project Design. On this basis, the risk that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains of any significance may be considered to be Low for all periods. |
