Tranters Yard, Whitehorse Street, Baldock, Hertfordshire. Archaeological Desk-based Assessment, Building Recording and Archaeological Monitoring and Recording
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In September and October 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted an archaeological desk-based assessment followed by a programme of historic building recording and archaeologicalmonitoring and recording at Tranters Yard in Baldock. The works were commissioned in advance ofthe demolition of the existing buildings to the rear of Whitehorse Street and construction of a number ofresidential dwellingsThe historic building recording found that two of the three buildings under assessment arecontemporary Buildings 1 and 2 are typical of construction seen during the middle of the 20th century,probably of 1940s or '50s date, constructed to serve a minor industrial purpose such as haulage yard ormechanic's workshop. Both have undergone much modification, retaining no original internal fittings.Building 3, to the north-east exhibits some minor historic interest, which though comprehensivelymodernised seems to be based around an original timber-framed core. The original roof survives andin one instance a corner post along with much of the timber-framing of the south wall, but the remaindercould be considered as effectively lost and superseded by the later modifications. Considering therecognisable elements suggests that this was always a humble agricultural building or out-house wherethe construction technique of the roof and the use of fairly robust primary-braced framing to the wallpanels perhaps indicates a date in the 18th century.Despite the potential for archaeological remains to be present on the site, especially dating from theRoman, medieval and post-medieval periods, no archaeological features or finds were located withinthe area of the new dwellings.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
