Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned by CgMS Consulting, on behalf of E.W. Pepper Ltd, to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the north of Baldock Road, on the western edge of Royston, North Hertfordshire. An outline planning application for a housing development has been submitted to North Hertfordshire District Council and pre-determination archaeological works were requested by the Historic Environment Advisor for the Council. Forty-two 50m trial trenches were excavated across the development area. Eleven trenches contained features of archaeological interest, with ditches being the predominant feature type. None of the archaeological features were associated with the Prehistoric ritual landscape on Therfield Heath to the south of the development area. Narrow north-south and east-west orientated ditches form narrow rectangular strip fields, dated by four pottery fragments to the post medieval period. The building of the railway to the north of the development area in the late 19th century is likely to have influenced a rearrangement of the field pattern. These heritage assets indicate a long agricultural history for the site and are of local significance.
