Abstract:		 In November 2004 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological field evaluation of Land at Rhee Spring, Clothall Common, Baldock, Hertfordshire. The aim was to assess the archaeological potential of the site following a consultation response from HCC''s Planning Archaeologist to an application for a new children''s home. The client decided to extend the area of investigation to include the whole of the Rhee Spring reserve school site. The area of investigation is located on the north-eastern outskirts of Baldock. Consisting of unmanaged grassland with some young trees and shrubs, the study area was bordered by the Icknield Way to the north (the present A505) and a housing estate to the south and west. Open fields adjacent to the bypass lay to the east. The soils of the area are derived from middle chalk beds with some deposits of upper chalk. The study area lies immediately west of land recently subject to extensive archaeological investigation during the construction of the Baldock bypass. Aerial photograph analysis has also indicated the presence of linear cropmarks within the study area. However, no significant archaeological features were identified during the evaluation, suggesting that the archaeological potential of the study area is relatively low when compared to the surrounding landscape. The evaluation has succeeded in determining the nature of previously identified cropmarks as being natural in origin. It has also revealed medieval or post-medieval activity associated with agriculture. The recovery of Roman and medieval artefacts indicates the potential for recovering stray finds of various classes and periods adjacent to the ancient Icknield Way.
