Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology carried out an evaluation on several on the edge of Baldock. The evaluation revealed the remains of a known Iron Age pit alignment Evidence for a number of late Iron Age/early Roman livestock enclosures was also revealed. A system of three NW-SE aligned parallel boundary ditches, of a late Iron Age/early Roman date were also identified. Other remains included a single, probably early Roman inhumation burial of a young adult female. There is also evidence of late Iron Age/Roman agricultural activity and chalk quarrying and bedding trenches. . The remains of several E-W aligned wheel ruts were identified. They are likely to represent phases of the ancient Icknield Way. Albion also carried out a historic building assessment of the twentieth century houses on site 5, consiting of a low level photographic record, accompanied by a measured plan to show internal layout and some further historical research to set the building in context, would ensure that a proper record is made before demolition or conversion. Although the building retains some of its original form, fixtures and fittings have been up-dated. Internal photographs are only necessary to show the current state of the building. A comparison with any extant buildings from similar smallholdings would be useful in order to determine the use of standard designs.
