Abstract: |
In October and November 2018 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring by means of 'strip, map and record' at No. 43 High Street, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, WD3 1ET (NGR TQ 0620 9447; Figs. 1 - 2). The monitoring was undertaken prior to and during the construction of a single-storey rear extension. It was also carried out according to the requirements of the Hertfordshire County Council Historic Environment Advisor Team (HCC HEAT), and was required in compliance with a planning condition on approval requiring a programme of archaeological work (Three Rivers Planning Ref. 17/1302/FUL). Previous archaeological investigation in the area surrounding the site is extensive, particularly within the historic core of Rickmansworth. No. 47 High Street, which stands 10m to the west of the site, has been subject to geotechnical test pitting (HER EHT76), which confirmed the presence of river gravels resting on the upper chalk, as well as alluvium in part, all below made ground. A subsequent archaeological evaluation revealed two late medieval ditches and residual 12th - 15th century pottery and later medieval peg tile (HERs 10901 and HT4825). |
