Abstract:		 In November 2006 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on the site of proposed Building 9, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Ware, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 34750 14410). The evaluation was commissioned by GlaxoSmithKline prior to the redevelopment of the site by the construction of a new research and development building. No archaeological features were identified during the evaluation. Natural deposits of alluvium and riverine gravels were encountered buried under several layers of deep made ground. No former topsoils or B horizons were identified, suggesting the ground surface had previously been stripped away before the consolidation of the site with the made ground deposits. It is possible that the site was truncated, perhaps by clay extraction for the neighbouring brickworks. However, it is more likely that the truncation occurred during construction of the Allen and Hanbury's factory in 1899 and during further development in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Glaxo, and again in the 1980s and 1990s by GlaxoSmithKline.
