Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Dacorum Borough Council for the change of use from agricultural land to a cemetery. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a trial trench evaluation of the site. A total of 41 trenches were opened. Archaeological features were identified in 34 of the trenches. The earliest features ranged in date from the late Iron Age-early Romano-British period to the medieval period (12th-14th century) and mostly comprised field boundaries. Later features comprised post-medieval to modern quarry pits and field boundaries. A number of features and deposits were undated. The late Iron Age-Romano-British remains are likely to represent outlying field boundaries. The medieval features and artefacts indicate activity in the area but not necessarily in the immediate vicinity of the site. This activity is likely to be agricultural in origin, associated with division of the landscape, and may lie on the periphery of a manorial site known as Markyate Oak. A series of field boundaries corresponded with those depicted on early OS maps.
