Abstract:		 In line with the requirements of the brief, the methods used were as follows: • The archaeological monitoring of the removal of the footings of the buildings being demolished • The ground reduction of the proposed building footprint to the archaeological horizon or the natural geology, using an excavator fitted with a toothless bucket • The archaeological monitoring of any other areas which were the subject of significant ground disturbance, e.g. drainage, services, ground reduction/levelling Between April and May 2018 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of Strip, Map and Sample excavation of Units J-M and N-Q, 100 Cecil Street, Watford as a condition of planning permission for the development of the site. Two areas, covering the footprint of the new buildings, were excavated and the features exposed during this investigation have been dated to the post –medieval and modern periods. The features encountered in Area 1 are believed to be contemporary with Callowland Farm, which was situated on the site from at least the 12th century. The post-medieval brick built coal storage and wall exposed in this area are believed to be part of ancillary buildings belonging to the farmstead and the absence of these features on OS maps would imply that they had gone out of use or had been demolished prior to the late 19th century. Several postholes were also uncovered in Area 1 that appeared to form the outline of a post-built structure or fence. Area 2 contained a series of modern postholes and had been heavily truncated by the installation of services
