The Small House, Temple Close, Watford, Herts. Archaeological Monitoring
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As the result of a condition on the planning consent for the redevelopment of The Small House, Temple Close, Watford, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake the archaeological investigations of the site. The present site is located on the site of the demolished Cassiobury House, which underwent a number of phases of alteration and rebuilding. An earlier evaluation across the footprints of the two proposed new dwellings revealed evidence for a series of wall footings and a vaulted brick undercroft relating to the 19th century rebuilding of the house. A gravel surface and associated brick edging were also exposed, which may form part of the courtyard in front of the main entrance to the 19th century house. A single sherd of medieval pottery was also recovered. Prior to starting the present phase of works on the site, the decision was made to proceed with the construction of a single dwelling only, located to the west of the existing house, which was to be demolished as part of the works. During the course of the groundworks for this building, the full extent of the octagonal kitchen that formed part of James Wyatt's rebuilding of Cassiobury House in the early 19th century, was exposed. The walls forming the northern end of the west range of the house were also revealed. The area between the walls of the west range was formed of demolition rubble that proved to have been used to backfill a series of cellars. Because of their location beneath the footprint of the new dwelling, they were partially cleared of rubble and it was decided that they should be incorporated, in part, in the building. The cellars were recorded as part of the present project and they appear to have been connected to the vaulted brick undercroft recorded during the evaluation stage, although this relationship was not directly proven. The excavation of footings trenches across the octagonal kitchen demonstrated that the cellars did not extend beneath this structure.

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.
