Abstract: |
In June 2009, Archaeological Solutions (AS) conducted archaeological monitoring and recording at 122 Fishpool Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire (TL 1410 0735). The archaeological recording was undertaken in response to a planning condition attached to proposals for the creation of two new detached dwellings to the rear of 122 Fishpool Street. This archaeological recording followed previous programmes of archaeological monitoring and recording conducted by AS in the rear yard area of the site in March 2008 (Pozorski 2008) and September 2008 (Pozorski, Rozwadowski and Collins 2008). An archaeological evaluation at the site in 2000 revealed that a significant proportion of it was taken up by medieval quarrying (Boyer 2000). The site is situated on the northern side of Fishpool Street, to the north east of the river Ver, close to the city centre of St Albans, Hertfordshire. The area had the potential for archaeological remains of Roman, Saxon and medieval date, and the greatest potential was for further remains of medieval quarrying. The archaeological recording encompassed the large foundation pit for new cellars. In its base was revealed a Roman well dating to AD 120-160 but due to its proximity to the side of the foundation, its excavation was limited. A series of quarry pits were located in section at the eastern corner of the foundation pit. Two of these contained post-medieval CBM. |
