Abstract:		 Between 29th September and 11th November 2014 Oxford Archaeology East carried out excavations at Land North of Hare Street Road, Buntingford, Hertfordshire. Upon the completion of the excavation a programme of archaeological monitoring was undertaken between 8th June and 14th July 2015 during the excavation of an attenuation pond in the western part of the site. Middle Neolithic remains, including decorated pottery sherds and worked flint flakes, were encountered in two pits at the base of the dry valley and in a palaeochannel running through the site. The excavation identified rural settlement remains, including roundhouses, with an associated system of land division and enclosure originating in the Middle Iron Age and evolving through the Late Iron Age period into the Early Roman period. Ditches forming a Middle Iron Age enclosure system included a possible stock enclosure. Late Iron Age remains within and further enclosures that appear to respect the Middle Iron Age remains indicate continuity of settlement. Although the Early Roman period witnessed a change in land economy with the introduction of a system of cultivation furrows, one of the Late Iron Age enclosures did appear to be respected. Furthermore, pitting activity in the settlement area continued from the Late Iron Age into the Early Roman period. An additional element of Early Roman land use was also identified, comprising a zone of marl quarrying pits.
