Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning permission was granted for the construction of a new classroom, new car parking and associated works at Prae Wood Primary School, St Albans. Because the development had the potential to impact upon significant heritage assets, conditions were attached to the permission . Investigations during the groundworks at Prae Wood Primary School revealed the presence across the site of typically thick deposits associated with the landscaping and construction of the school and its grounds. The majority of the groundworks did not fully penetrate these deposits. Four features were partially revealed beneath these deposits within a drainage trench; they may represent two ditches and two pits. Unfortunately no dating evidence was retrieved from these features. The recovery of abraded sherds of late Iron Age-early Roman pottery within the overlying landscaping deposits is testimony to the proximity of known late Iron Age and Roman remains in this part of St Albans. It is possible that the landscaping/make-up deposits may mask further archaeological remains. However, any such remains are likely to have been damaged during the landscaping; the lack of any visible buried soils beneath the landscaping layers suggests that the previous overburden had been removed prior to the deposition of these layers.
