Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East carried out an archaeological excavation at Durrants Lane, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire between the 14th July and 14th August 2015. The fieldwork was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in advance of redevelopment of the site. The excavation revealed two significant periods of activity on the site, consisting of Middle/Late Bronze Age (c. 1500-800 BC) pitting; possible structures and a possible burnt mound and associated man-made pond/quarry located within the southern area of the site. A subsequent period of Early/Middle Iron Age activity (c.800-300 BC) is also present on site. This period appears to consist less of industrial activities and more of occupation and settlement. The majority of features on the site contained little in the way of datable or environmental material culture or stratigraphic relationships. Dating evidence consisted predominantly of quite small and undiagnostic pottery groups, making assigning closely dated periods and phases problematic. Broadly, the dating evidence suggests that the majority of the archaeological activity on the site spanned the Middle/Late Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age. The final phase of activity on the site consisted of two post-medieval quarry pits. Natural clay and flint was observed at c.170m OD
