Introduction
This collection comprises images and GIS data from an excavation at 7 Box Lane, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. This strip, map and record excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2021.
A small number of prehistoric worked flint flakes were recovered from a small pit and a clayey deposit. These features are presumably associated with similar limited prehistoric remains recorded during a previous trial trench evaluation of the site.
Two further pits contained small amounts of Roman pottery and tile, and further Roman artefacts were residual/ redeposited in later features. It is likely that these features/ artefacts represent limited outlying activity associated with Boxmoor Roman Villa, which lay to the immediate south of the development site.
A small number of further pits and a ditch were late post-medieval/ modern in date.
