Abstract:		 Between April and November 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation and archaeological monitoring and recording at land at The Old Meeting House, Meeting House Lane, Baldock, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 24532 34058). The project was commissioned by Bleriot Construction Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the change of use and conversion of The Old Meeting House to 2 x2 bedroom flats, erection of 2 x2 bedroom dwellings and associated works. The principal element of the project was the excavation and removal of the late 17th - 19th century human burials associated with former Quakers burial ground. Human remains were removed from 25 graves. A small damaged lead coffin containing some human remains and found in a modern pit. The graves contained inhumation burials within wooden coffins. The latter were not preserved but metal handles were present. No personal items were present in the graves except small copper alloy pins found in four graves. Another two lead coffins (one sealed) were present amongst 20 burials revealed within the excavation area but they were left in situ as they were not threatened by the new development. In addition to the burials, a late Iron Age/early Roman pit, two medieval (late 12th - 14th century) pits, a modern (20th century) pit and five undated pits were excavated.
