Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of five trenches and one test pit. Trenches 1, 2 and 5 measured 10m
long and 1.8m wide; Trench 3 measured 20m long and 1.8m wide and Trench 4 was
28m long and 1.8m wide. Test pit 7 measured 3m by 3m. In March 2018, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology on land at Arnolds Farm, Rableyheath, Hertfordshire. The evaluation was undertaken to fulfil a planning condition attached to the planning consent for the residential development of the site. The fieldwork comprised the excavation of five trenches and one test pit.
Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its location within a wider landscape utilised within the Prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods.
Despite this archaeological potential, no archaeological, features or deposits were observed during the evaluation and no finds pre-dating the modern period were encountered.
Evidence of modern landscaping and truncation was evidenced across the site by deposits of made ground, which directly overlay the natural substrate within each of the trenches. It is probable that this recorded ground disturbance occurred during the construction of 20th-century buildings and development associated with Welwyn Equestrian Centre. |
