Abstract: |
In February 2009, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at land north of Bradden Lane, Gaddesden Row, Hemel Hempsted, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 038 136). The monitoring was commissioned by E.J. Waterhouse and Sons Limited and comprised observation of the groundworks associated with the construction of seven terraced and semi-detached dwellings with associated access roads and car park areas (Planning Approval Ref. 4/01156/03/FUL). The site is located on southern end of the small hamlet of Jockey End on the northern side of Bradden Lane. Much of the potential for the site derives from the discovery of numerous struck flint and tools in the area dating from the Paleolithic through to the Neolithic period. Butterfield's Brick Pit (Area of Archaeological Significance 14), located south of Bradden's Lane, yielded a particularly large assemblage of Palaeolithic material. Gaddesden Row is thought to follow the course of a Roman road. The monitoring encompassed the ground reduction and the cutting of the foundation trenches. A pit, F1009, was located during the monitoring and recording. Only CBM was located within fills of this feature. The site's potential ranged from the prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. In the event no archaeological features or finds, excepting a relatively modern pit, were present. |
