Abstract:		 In order to assess the archaeological risk posed by a proposal to construct 35 dwellings with ancillary facilities, estate manager's office and parking on two pieces of land located on either side of a petrol filling station at 343-351 High Street, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Tanner and Tilley Planning Ltd to undertake a desk-based archaeological assessment of the site. It lies on Akeman Street, a Roman road, and an area of possible Roman occupation has been recorded immediately to the north-west. It lies outside the medieval core of the town, but in an area that may have been occupied in the late 12th/early 13th century when St James's Church to the north-east was the parish church. During the 19th century, the western plot was occupied by a line of cottages fronting the road, and the eastern plot was occupied by a school set in landscaped gardens. In the latter half of the 20th century, both sites were cleared and replaced by modern system buildings and hard-standing. Documentary research has shown that there is a moderate to high possibility that archaeological remains of Roman and medieval date may be preserved below ground level in the study area. However, it has not been possible to conclude from the consulted documentary sources how such remains may have been affected by later development of the site. Should they be present, it is likely they would be damaged by the current development proposals, but the actual survival and nature of such remains can only be characterised by intrusive investigation.
