Abstract:		 In July 2011, Archaeological Solutions Limited conducted an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at St Andrew's House, St Andrew's Place, Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The assessment was commissioned in support of a planning application to be submitted to redevelop the existing sheltered housing complex on the site with new residential units. Based on the known evidence, the site has only a low potential for archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval periods, a low to moderate potential for early modern archaeology and a moderate potential for remains dating to the Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon periods. The site also has a high potential for modern remains associated with the construction of St Andrew's House and the associated course of St Andrew's Place, neither of which existed in 1966 and are judged to be approximately 20 - 30 years old. Extensive groundworks, levelling and truncation are associated with the construction of St Andrew's House, which was revealed to have been cut into the natural ground level of the site during the course of the site visit. It is very unlikely that any archaeological remains or deposits existing within the site would have survived the late 20th century ground disturbance, although it is possible that a relatively intact stratigraphy may have survived in the westernmost section of the site. The proposed development will occupy a significantly smaller footprint than the existing buildings and therefore the impact of the proposed development of the site is judged not to be greater than that which has previously occurred.
