Abstract:		 In order to investigate the archaeological potential of a proposed new residential development located on land at the rear of 3 Pilgrims Row, Westmill, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake a programme of targeted trial trenching. A single trench was excavated across the footprint of the proposed new dwelling, which revealed a large degree of disturbance in the form of post-medieval and modern activity. Layers of overburden lay directly over the natural and a modern drain and soakaway had impacted into the natural.Two parallel ditches running across the trench at right angles and aligned north-west to south-east were revealed cutting into the natural. Their fills contained charcoal flecks but no finds were discovered. The investigation demonstrated that the area for the proposed development has seen a degree of disturbance from at least the post-medieval period onward. Whilst the ditches were undatable, a study of the existing housing plot layout in Westmill combined with the results of the evaluation suggests that these may relate to property boundaries. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risks that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains of any local significance may be considered to be Low-Moderate for the medieval period and Low for all other periods.
