Abstract: |
In May 2010 Archaeological Solutions (AS) prepared an archaeological desk-based impact assessment, and in July 2010 conducted an archaeological evaluation at The Old Meeting House, Meeting House Lane, Baldock, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 24563 34065). The programme of archaeological work was commissioned to support a proposed planning application ofr the change of use and conversion of former offices to residential use, the demolithion of existing offices and the erection of two 3-bedroom and three 2-bedroom dwellings on the site. The site lies within the historic core of the town of Baldock and within Area of Archaeological Significance No. 96 which records the presence of Bronze and Iron Age , Roman and medieval archaeological remians. The Iron Age and Roman settlements are of national importance and much of the Roman settlement at Baldock is scheduled as an Ancient Monument (27913). The Roman settlement has extensive cemeteries around its periphery. The impact assessment indicated a high potential for remains of a Quaker burial ground to be present on the site, as well as Roman and medieval archaeology. In the event the evaluation revealed an inhumation burial possibly associated with the identified burial ground, another possible grave and an undated, probably modern gully. |
