Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was appointed by CgMs, acting on behalf of Galliford Try, to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at Pentlow's Farm, Braughing, Hertfordshire. The archaeological evaluation formed part of a detailed mitigation strategy requested by the Archaeological Officer for Hertfordshire County Council, in advance of planning determination for a new housing development and associated infrastructure. Thirteen evaluation trenches were excavated in order to determine the presence/absence of archaeological remains, characterise and confirm (or otherwise) the results of the desk-based survey and provide information on the likely impact of proposed construction works. Of the thirteen trenches excavated, five (Trenches 3, 6, 9, 10 and 11) contained potential archaeological remains. A common stratigraphic sequence was recognised across the majority of the Site comprising topsoil overlying subsoil and natural geology, except where modern disturbance was present. Trenches 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 indicate that there is considerable disturbance in parts of the Site, associated with the operation of the farm. A total of only 11 potential archaeological features were encountered from five of the thirteen excavated trenches, comprising ditches, gullies and pits with provisional dating to the Romano- British period in at least two of the trenches (Trenches 6 and 11)
