Abstract:		 In September 2004 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Castle Wharf, Bridge Street, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, on behalf of Fourth Avenue Estates Ltd. The work was required in advance of proposed residential redevelopment, and followed a desk-based study of the site. Beneath a 2m horizon of made-up ground was a layer of alluvium, sealing what is believed to be an old river channel. Within this 'palaeo-channel' was a thick deposit of peat created between the later part of the early Mesolithic (9700 to 9550 Cal BP) and the Neolithic (4760 to 4640 Cal BP). This represents a time span between the late Boreal period, when pine woodland was being replaced by deciduous trees, and the Atlantic period, when there was predominance of lime woodland. This 4000-year period covers the time when mankind first had an impact on the landscape, and when humans first settled in, or adjacent to, the Bulbourne valley.
