Abstract:		 Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land proposed for housing at Spencer's Park, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. The evaluation identified a number of pits, ditches and cremations occupying a plateau at the north-west corner of the site. The features date from the early 1st - 3rd centuries AD and are thought to represent enclosures and field boundaries on the periphery of a settlement. The cremations, two of which were possibly buried in wooden boxes, appear to have been bounded by a ditched enclosure. Finds from the site include pottery from the Middle Iron Age to 2nd century AD, glass and tile, together with opus signinum and a quern fragment, suggesting that a settlement may lie close by.
