The evaluation comprised the excavation of 17 trenches measuring 30m long by 2m wide, and one trench measuring 20m long by 2m wide, in the locations shown on Figure 2. The trenches were located to test anomalies identified on LiDAR imagery, and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the Site. Trench 13 was excavated slightly to the east of its original position due to the presence of overhead services in the original trench location. Due to the presence of several buried services, Trench 17 was relocated from its original position at the south-eastern part of the Site to a location immediately adjacent to and running parallel to Trench 14. The trench was excavated to a length of 20m, with the remaining linear trenching capacity utilised to add extensions to Trenches 1, 2 and 3, which were excavated perpendicular to their original intended alignment. These extensions targeted geological variations observed in the original trenches which had the potential to be archaeological in nature. In June 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land to the north-west of Junction 7 of the A1(M), Knebworth Park, Hertfordshire, at the request of HCUK Group, acting on behalf of GRIDSERVE Sustainable Energy Ltd. A total of 17 trenches were excavated across the 2.3ha site in advance of the construction of an electric vehicle charging station with ancillary retail unit and associated infrastructure and landscaping. The fieldwork revealed only a small number of archaeological features, including ditches likely representative of activity on the edge of a Late Iron Age and/or very early Roman settlement. Two south-west to north-east aligned ditches containing 1st to 2nd century pottery were recorded in Trenches 13 and 14 respectively. Trench 17 revealed the probable continuation of the ditch identified in Trench 14. The relatively large assemblages of predominantly 1st century pottery and large volume of cereal grains recovered from the fills of the ditch in Trench 14 indicate a focal point of domestic activity in the area immediately to the south and south-west. The pottery assemblage is predominantly utilitarian in nature, with some evidence for vessels relating to the service and consumption of food and liquids. The dominance of coarsewares suggests relatively low status activity associated with general domestic usage. The small quantities of regional and imported wares indicate limited access to both regional and Continental ...
