Abstract:		 Aims The aims of the project were: • To establish the date, nature and extent of activity or occupation within the development area • To establish the relationship of any remains found to the surrounding contemporary landscape • To recover palaeo-environmental remains to determine local environmental conditions. Methods The methods used were as follows: • The continuous archaeological monitoring of all groundworks related to the development, including foundation trenches, service trenches, ground reduction, landscaping and any other ground impact. In April 2021 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of Observation and Recording at the Merchant Taylors School, Sandy Lodge Lane, Moor Park, Hertfordshire, in order to fulfil planning conditions for the development of the site. The excavation of 20 pits for the placement of foundation pads for the construction of a two storey biology classroom extension and an external lift revealed only made ground deposits and a large modern concrete soakaway with a related drainpipe. The made ground contained a great deal of red brick and other modern debris, which was probably deposited during the construction of the extant building, and subsequent landscaping, in the early 20th century. This may have disturbed or destroyed any potential archaeological remains, though it is also possible that the footprint of the development was either situated outside of any settlement activity, or it was located between widely dispersed features within the local landscape.
