Abstract: |
In order to advise the local planning authority regarding the archaeological potential of a proposed development site on land at 17 Walnut Tree Road, Pirton, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake a programme of investigation consisting of trial trenching. The present stage of work has involved the excavation of ten trenches of varying dimensions. The trenches exposed a topsoil and subsoil over the natural slightly silty clay substrate. The fieldwork revealed six features considered to be of possible archaeological significance. Four pits and two ditches, all were dated by pottery finds to the 9-12th centuries, except for one of the ditches which had no finds, however prehistoric pottery was found nearby and may be associated. On the basis of the evaluation results, the risk that the proposed development might have a negative impact on remains of archaeological significance may be considered to be High for early medieval and Low for all other periods. |
