Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out at New Hall School, Boreham. One T-shaped trench was excavated on the site of a proposed new classroom block at the north-east corner of the school buildings. No remains of the Tudor 'palace' or medieval manor were identified. The earliest feature was a pit tentatively dated to the 17th century. In the centre of the trench was the base of a substantial path, aligned north-north-west/south-south-east, comprising re-used Tudor bricks sealed by compact clayey gravel. The re-use of Tudor bricks suggests a mid 18th-century date for this path after the demolition of much of the Tudor building complex in 1737. Two parallel later features cutting the base may be planting pits or evidence of robbed out structures. The overburden was 0.75m deep and of relatively modern date. At the base of the section was 0.3m of buried topsoil containing 19th/20th century pottery and which appeared to have been previously cultivated. Close to the top of the section was a brick pathway of 20th century date leading in a north-easterly direction from the school to the position of a former outbuilding.
