Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit on land to the rear of London Road Cemetery, St Albans, in advance of a planned extension to the cemetery. Although the site lies within no known area of archaeological significance, the evaluation demonstrated the presence of archaeological features and deposits, albeit in small numbers, in some parts of the proposed development area. The earliest remains may have been Roman, consisting of a single large pit that produced residual prehistoric material and a single second century pottery sherd. Later or undated features included several ditches and possibly some small, isolated post-holes. In addition, post-medieval ceramic field drains were encountered throughout the development area. The degree of preservation noted across the site was good, with little or no evidence for truncation or re-working of the underlying natural geology, and the evaluation is deemed to have sufficiently characterised the date, character, extent and significance of those features present within the site, which is deemed to be low. The localised nature of the archaeological remains, coupled with their relatively minor significance, suggests that development is unlikely to have a significant impact upon the archaeological record.
