Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the excavation of thirty seven trenches representing a 6% sample of the site. All
trenches were 30m long and 1.8m wide. Trenches 2, 22 and 29 were moved to take
account of obstructions. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold
Archaeology in November 2017 at Fairways Farm, Bucknalls Lane,
Garston, Hertfordshire. Thirty seven trenches were excavated.
The results of the evaluation confirmed the conclusion of the
archaeological background that there was limited potential for
archaeological remains within the site. A number of worked flints
were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil during the course of
the evaluation but these were residual in nature and are likely be to
evidence of transient seasonal activity rather than settlement within
the site. Evidence of possible Roman quarrying was also noted.
Where features were recorded, within Trenches 17, 36 and 37,
these consisted of small modern drainage gullies which are likely to
have been associated with the farm within the southern half of the
site. |
