Abstract: |
In July and August 2015, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted a trial trench evaluation of Land North of Hertford, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 3233 1481). The evaluation was commissioned by Ingrebourne Valley Ltd in advance of proposed mineral extraction - based on the advice of Hertfordshire County Council Historic Environment Unit (HCC HEU) - in order to inform regarding the potential archaeological implications of any future planning proposal (in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, para 128). The geophysical survey identified numerous anomalies which appear to be of archaeological significance. Four large sub-rectangular enclosures were noted, one of which is a double or possibly triple ditch enclosure. Within the enclosures, numerous features have been recognised possibly relating to significant occupation activity. The site in this initial stage appears to be mostly prehistoric with several references to the HER. The majority of the features are noticeably situated on the northern half of the survey area. The evaluation clarified the anomalies identified by the geophysical survey, principally the enclosures of prehistoric and 1st century AD date. |
