Abstract:		 Between July and November 2006 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording in association with the construction of a a new residential development on the site of Rooks Nest Farm, High Street, Walkern, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 2873 2582, planning ref: 3/03/1371). The archaeological monitoring and recording was commissioned by Leach Homes Ltd. The site is located within the village of Walkern, Hertfordshire, situated about one mile east of Stevenage. It is bounded by residential developments to its north and south, and by the High Street to the east. The site lies in Area of Archaeological Significance 29, which broadly refers to the medieval settlement of Walkern. Roman exploitation of the area was also intensive. The monitoring was undertaken during the excavation of foundation trenches associated with the construction of 17 new dwellings. Site visits were conducted to monitor these works on 26th July, 7th September, 4th October, 15th and 28th November 2006. Revealed on the site were former compacted chalk surfaces and associated occupation layers or former surfaces. It is likely that these features were associated with the post-medieval farm buildings which stood on the site until July 2006. The site contained extensive modern and post-medieval made ground.
