Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land adjacent to the A414 at Radlett, St Albans, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1558 0388). Three areas of archaeological trenching (A, B and C) comprising a total of 46 trenches was evaluated. Archaeological features were encountered in 7 of the 21 trenches in Area A. Archaeological features included 7 ditch features [7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22] and a probable Roman dew pond [26]. The ditch features were relatively narrow (c.0.50 m) and quite shallow (c. 0.15 m). Two ditch features in Trench 6 are modern, associated with a trackway dating to the c.1940s. Ditch features in Trench 12 were undated but seem to form part of an enclosure, possibly Prehistoric or Roman. Of the remaining 3 ditches, dating evidence was retrieved only from Ditch [18]. Two probable tree related features were excavated and recorded [5 and 24]. Evidence for archaeological remains in Area B was limited to 2 undated postholes, [33] and [34], excavated in Trenches 28 and 26 respectively. A modern feature containing wire, probably a ditch, was recorded at the southern end of Trench 2. No archaeological features were present in Area C. In general Area C seems to have been subject to significant modern (i.e. 20th century) disturbance relating to the former history of the site as an airfield and then a quarry. Made ground to the west of and near the south of the large bank near the western edge of the site (as seen in Trench 44) contains significant quantities of 20th century demolition rubble. This material probably results from the in situ demolition of airfield related buildings at the edge of the site.
