Abstract:		 The desk-based assessment demonstrated that there were no designated sites or known sites of archaeological interest within the development area, other than it being the site of railway sidings and a railway station; Hill End Halt, which were built between 1895 and 1899 to serve the nearby Hill End Asylum, later known as the Hertfordshire County Mental Hospital. The station was destroyed by fire in 1954, shortly after its closure; and only the platform now survives. The watching brief encountered no evidence for the station buildings or railway sidings, other than layers of cinders and other material across parts of the side; this material may have derived from the ballast and subgrade of the former sidings and the raking out of train fire boxes when the sidings were in use. The still extant platform lies just beyond the northern boundary of the site, at its eastern end. No other archaeological features or deposits were observed during the watching brief, and no artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was found. A broad, linear, clay-filled hollow, probably of natural origin, was identified in the central part of the site.
