Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In July 2012, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of monitoring of historic building alterations at the Robin Hood Public House, 63 High Street, Walkern, Hertfordshire. Technical analysis suggests that the building was constructed at the end of the 17th, or first half of the 18th century, as a fairly modest domestic residence, broadly confirming the list description. It is, unusually for this period, entirely timber-framed, but in quality and form lies at the very end of the timber tradition for domestic houses. Much of the oak appears to have been reused from elsewhere, and has been redeployed with economy. In layout, the building follows the classic 18th/19th century form of general symmetry, a central corridor with rooms on either side and continuous outshut to the rear. Historic records suggest that the house functioned as an unlicensed beer house, but in the early 20th century, this appears to have been formalised with the introduction of durable dressings like match-lined panelling to the ground floor rooms. The first licence was granted in 1953. Modern alterations including the consolidation of the ground floor rooms are also much in evidence.
