Abstract:		 In response to a condition on the planning permission for a new residential development at Pollards Way, Pirton, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Court Homes Ltd. to undertake a programme of archaeological investigation. This was carried out in two stages, with Stage 1 consisting of an evaluation by trial trenching, followed by a programme of archaeological monitoring during the groundworks. The fieldwork identified a multi-period site, with remains dating to the late Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. The earliest datable features on the site consisted of a series of late Bronze Age pits and postholes. From the Late Bronze Age until the 4th century AD the site appears to have been in continuous use for either domestic or agricultural activities. A number of ditches, pits and postholes have been dated to these periods. The site appears to have gone out of use towards the end of the Roman period, no evidence of Saxon occupation was encountered within this present investigation. Evidence for medieval and post-medieval activity was also identified, comprising a series of wide, but shallow, parallel ditches.
