Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land off Luynes Rise, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, SG9 9SQ (NGR TL 358 288) between the 22nd June and the 13th July 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd prior to residential redevelopments. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The evaluation found a series of ditches which are focused in the north and west of the site, located on areas of higher ground. 31 pits, two deposits of remnant pyre material, and five pits containing burnt material were also identified. The features on the site contained limited finds, some areas demonstrating higher concentrations of artefacts, which could indicate areas of more intensive activity relating to occupation or settlement. Three main phases of activity are represented on the site with an initial Bronze Age phase, located on the high ground (Trenches 19, 20, 66, 67) in the north of the site. This consisted of a large segmented boundary ditch identified in Trenches 19, 20 and 66. The ditch contained 29 sherds of middle Bronze Age pottery (c. 1500BC-1100BC), with little prehistoric pottery discovered from other features on the site. There is also an Iron Age (350-50BC) phase concentrated in the north of Area 1 and the south-west of Area 2. A Roman phase is also represented focused on the higher ground in the south-west (Trenches 36-46) of the site; these consisted of a series of smaller ditches likely to be field boundaries. The features located on the higher ground, in the south-west of the site, contained a more dense concentration of finds, which indicates a proximity to settlement or occupational activity.
