Abstract: |
Between November 2015 and February 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at Six Hills House, Kings Road/London Road, Stevenage, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 2670 2366). The monitoring was commissioned by Land Charter Homes in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of 4No new bin and cycle stores, 1No sub station and 1No pumping station in association with the residential conversion of a former office block. The site lies adjacent to the Six Hills Tumuli, a group of round barrows of the 1st/2nd century date and Scheduled as Ancient Monuments. It also lies next to the course of the Roman/medieval road which equates to the course of London Road. The medieval settlement of Stevenage was centred on the High Street (an earlier Roman road) to the north. Therefore the site had a potential for Romano-British and medieval archaeological remains but the groundworks were smallscale. In the event the monitoring revealed no archaeological features or finds. The site appeared to be significantly truncated by modern construction works. |
