Abstract:		 In the autumn of 2005 a programme of archaeological investigation and recording was undertaken on land adjacent to 3-4 Church Gates, Church Lane, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. The work was undertaken during the conversion and extension to the existing building on the site of a former slaughterhouse and candlemakers associated with 134 High Street, Berkhamsted. Evidence for human activity was found dating from the Saxo-Norman period and for human occupation from the 12th century onwards. This occupation took the form of a burnt clay floor which lay within the footprint of the existing building. In the area of the new extension a cobbled surface, brick drain and flint lined well were found; several pits were identified in the extension of the foundations but their contents suggests that they were of post-medieval date. The pottery assemblage is no later than 1800 though the site continued to be utilised throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The building's use as a slaughterhouse/candlemakers and absence of a chimney breast suggests that human habitation probably ceased in the early 19th century.
