Abstract:		 In line with the requirements of the Brief, this is the first part of a staged investigation whereby the results of this stage will be assessed to determine the need and extent of further stages of archaeological investigation. The methods used were as follows: • Trial trenching of 5% of the development site consisting of three 20m trenches, 1.8m wide targeting the footprint of the houses and the access drive The evaluation revealed a series of cut features including a ditch terminus, a pit, linear features, a pit/post-hole, and animal bone, pottery, a shard of glass, and a clay pipe stem. Only one of the features, a pit, contained datable material in the form of potsherds dating from the 12th -14th century AD. The economy of the settlement at Stanstead Abbotts was predominantly agricultural during the medieval to post-medieval periods and the cut features appear to be consistent, with some, particularly the larger cut features (e.g. the ditche) demarcating (agricultural) land boundaries.
