Abstract:
In March 2008 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of historic building recording of a small house known as Hillside in Lamer Lane, Lower Gustard Wood, Hertfordshire. This was followed by programmes of archaeological monitoring and recording in April 2008 and July 2008. The building originated as a two-bayed timber-framed house, most probably in the 18th/ early 19th century, in keeping with other buildings in the area, the building was refaced in red brick. Several other alterations were made to the building in the late 19th/ early 20th century. In 1835 the house was converted to a beer-house called The Royal Exchange. Some of the modifications to the building may be attributed to this period of use, as well as its reversion for use as a domestic dwelling which probably occurred in the earlier part of the 20th century. The first phase of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during the excavation of the dirt floor within the two original rooms (numbered 1 and 2). It identified a flint with crushed chalk and brick foundation along the exterior and interior walls, which was capped by a single course of red brick. The July archaeological monitoring programme was undertaken during ground reduction and excavation of foundation trenches to the rear of the house as part of a new extension to the existing house. No archaeological features were located in the area of works.
