Abstract:		 During April 2011 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. carried out an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Holwell Road, Pirton, Hertfordshire. The project was commissioned by The Eades Hotwani Partnership (EHP) on behalf of Messrs. Walker in response to a condition identified by Andy Instone of the Historic Environment Unit at Hertfordshire County Council. Conditions for trial trenching were good throughout the programme. Artefact densities were extremely low across the study area and consisted of a single fragment of poorly preserved animal bone recovered from the upper fill of the only archaeologically significant feature present on site, a ditch. The ditch was identified in 2 of the 6 trenches and the projected line of the feature was found to be broadly in line with the north easterly continuation of Holwell Road and of similar alignment to other pre-enclosure boundaries on the northern side of the village. Although conclusive dating evidence was absent the nature of the ditch fills and the projected alignment were sufficient to indicate that this feature is certainly of pre 18th century origin and may tentatively be identified as a field boundary, perhaps of possible late Saxon or Medieval origin.
