Abstract:		 In November and December 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land off Longmead, Buntingford, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 35680 29360). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the residential development of the site. The site lies on the western side of the town of Buntingford. The majority of the features recorded were gullies and together they comprised a field system. As many as 17 (north to south aligned) gullies were recorded in Trenches 2 - 6. Gully F1028 appeared to terminate within Trench 4. In Trench 5, Gully F1026 was on a slightly different alignment (northeast to southwest), and in Trench 7, Ditch F1010 was perpendicular to the gullies. Dating of the field system is tentative. F1045 and F1047 (Trench 2), F1006, F1008 and F1039 (Trench 3), F1035 (Trench 4) and F1037 (Trench 6) all contained Roman pottery. The pottery is fragmentary but generally only slightly abraded. Gully F1024 (Trench 4) contained a single sherd (4g) of 10th-11th/ 12th century pottery, and CBM (129g). Ditch F1010 (Trench 7) which was perpendicular to the gullies, contained 12 sherds of 10th/ 11th to 12th century pottery (145g). On balance, the field system is likely Roman. Environmental evidence from Ditch F1010 and 10th/ 11th to 12th pottery, notably from the same feature, has the potential to add to our knowledge of medieval settlement patterns and agricultural regimes in this part of Hertfordshire.
