Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South-East at Land at Stevenage Lane, Near St Ippolyts, Hertfordshire, SG4 7UW between 30th November and 8th December 2016. The fieldwork was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in advance of the redevelopment of the site. Archaeological features were revealed within 9 of the 20 trenches opened, revealing a large amount of archaeological activity within the south-western area of the site, as well as small area of apparently localised activity within the south-east, and a lone hearth to the east. The dating evidence collected during the evaluation suggests two phases of activity on the site, one dating to the Late Iron Age/Early Roman (AD10-100) with possible residual Middle Iron Age pottery located to the east of the probable trackway identified within the geophysical survey and consisting of pits and ditches, and the other Early Roman (AD50-120) located to the west of the possible trackway and consisting of post holes, occupation layers and rubbish pits. Natural clay, sand and gravel was observed at c.97.36m OD in the north-east, sloping down to c.93.17m OD in the south-west. A sharper drop within the south-western corner corresponds with a change in the natural geology, becoming a yellowish-white silt with very frequent chalk fragments and flecks located at c.90m OD dropping to c.87.72m OD.
