Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned to undertake monitoring and recording during groundworks for a detached garage and single storey house extension at Wickham Hill Farm, Wickham Hill, Braughing Herts (TL 38930 23795). One pit of early Roman date was excavated within the foundation trench for the house extension along with an adjacent layer that may be part of a contemporary land surface. Finds from the pit included pottery (dating c.AD50-80), brick, animal bone and oyster shell. Remains of 1st century AD date were identified at the site during previous work in the period 1968-73 (Partridge 1977). These included a flint cobble road sealed by late 1st-century AD domestic rubbish and a shallow ditch. Also identified was an undated clay and flint surface with a reddened hearth position and the tentative remains of a timber building. Cumulatively these remains, along with the excavated pit, are likely to represent 1st century AD roadside occupation. No archaeological remains were observed within the footprint of the garage. The previously identified shallow ditch was depicted (Partridge 1977) as heading into the position of the new garage but was no longer visible. The ditch had been exposed in plan during construction of the original house and may have been subsequently truncated or obscured by plant movement. One small undated ditch or trench was also observed within the foundation trench for the house extension. It is possible that this may have been associated with the former recent use of the site as a nursery.
