Barnside, Chapel Lane, Long Marston. Programme of observation and recording (OASIS ID: kdkarcha1-249540)

In July 2017 a programme of Observation and Recording was undertaken at Barnside, Chapel Lane, Long Marston, Hertfordshire as a planning condition for the development of the site. The condition was imposed as the site lies within the medieval core of Long Marston and is surrounded by a number of heritage assets. Groundworks consisted of footings and service trenches with some ground reduction. The remains of a garden wall built in brick could be seen above modern made ground but this was known to be an extant structure until recently. A silty deposit of flooding was also observed in a section of the footings that can be attributed to the marshy nature of the surrounding area. No archaeological finds or features were identified, all deposits were made ground or the result of natural processes and contained modern material.

2017年7月，为满足赫特福德郡（Hertfordshire）朗马斯顿（Long Marston）查普尔巷（Chapel Lane）巴恩赛德（Barnside）地块开发的规划许可条件，项目组针对该场地开展了观测与记录工作。该规划条件的设置缘由为，此场地坐落于朗马斯顿中世纪核心区域内，周边环绕多处历史文化遗产资产。本次场地土方作业涵盖基础基槽与服务管线沟槽开挖，并实施了部分地表削减作业。在现代人工填土层之上，可见一处砖砌花园围墙的残迹，但直至近期，该墙体仍被认定为现存结构。在一处基槽断面中，还观测到了洪水淤积形成的粉砂质沉积层，该沉积可归因于场地周边区域的沼泽化地貌特征。本次工作未发现任何考古遗存或遗迹现象，所有沉积层均为现代人工填土层或自然作用形成的堆积，且均含有现代人工遗物。
