Abstract:		 An archaeological strip, map and sample excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between June and July 2015 on land off Baldock Road, Letchworth, Hertfordshire. The work was carried out in order to fulfil a planning condition that was attached to planning consent for the construction of a power plant, with associated tanks and access, on the site. The site lies immediately adjacent and to the south of an area where possible archaeological remains have been identified from cropmarks shown on aerial photographs. An evaluation of the site, carried out by Cotswold Archaeology (2015a), identified ditches containing Late Bronze Age to earlier Iron Age and 12th to 13th-century pottery respectively as well as an undated pit. The excavation demonstrated that a single ditch,turning southwards at its western end, was present. Ceramic building material dating from the later medieval and post-medieval periods was recovered from its lower fills. This is likely to represent an agricultural drainage and/or boundary feature. An undated pit was also identified sealed by subsoil. The prehistoric cropmarks identified to the north of the site did not extend into the current site.
