Netherfield Lane, Stanstead Abbotts
Archaeological Dig Update
In June 2022, we sponsored an archaeological dig at Netherfield Lane, Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire. Several test pits were dug by Wardell Armstrong who supervised many local volunteers looking for historical artefacts. Also, it was great to see a large number of school children got involved and were excited to see the project in action.
Dig Update Event
We invite you to meet the team, view some of the finds from the dig and see images of the day at a drop-in event coming soon:
Red Lion Public House, Tuesday 14th March 2023
Drop in between 2pm – 9pm
The project
The project was brought about during a meeting of the Neighbourhood Plan when we were challenged to do more than a desk-based study!
The opportunity
The archaeological test pitting has primarily been commissioned to provide an opportunity for the local community to learn about the history and archaeology of Stanstead Abbotts and hopefully further develop the archaeological record and improve understanding of local land use and occupation throughout the past.
Thank you
Thank you again to all who volunteered, the Local Parish Council and Neighbourhood Plan committee for their help in organising, and Wardell Armstrong for their expertise.
