Abstract:		 In August and September 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological excavation at Kingsbury House, Branch Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1390 0760). The excavation was commissioned by Cathedral Homes (UK) Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the demolition of the existing structures and the construction of two residential dwellings. The site is situated within an area that has revealed significant archaeological remains, identified as AS.R.25 on the Local Plan. Numerous Romano-British archaeological remains are recorded in the vicinity of the site, as well as within the site itself. An archaeological evaluation of the site revealed a sequence of Roman occupation layers, a possible hearth and a compacted gravel floor or yard surface. Fairly large quantities of Romano-British pottery were recovered along the other small finds. The remains of late-17th- to early-18th-century structure, possibly a cellar, were also revealed. The excavation revealed multi-period occupation with the Romano-British and post-medieval periods most prominent. The majority of the remains were associated with the earliest Phase 1 dated to 2nd century AD (130-150 AD). The phase comprised numerous occupation layers, possibly remains of a building, a ditch and two pits. Large quantities of pottery sherds and numerous small finds were recovered from deposits of this phase. A pit represented Phase 2 and it was attributed to 4th century AD. Phase 3 consisted of late 17th-early 18th century lime kiln with an associated pit. The site was significantly truncated by mid-20th century construction of a house and ancillary works.
