Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2015 on land to the rear of the Bull Inn, High Street, Redbourn, St Albans, Hertfordshire. Four trenches were excavated within the site. The evaluation demonstrated that the ground level at the site has been extensively truncated and made up with a series of undated silty/clayey made ground deposits. Only one feature was found to pre-date this truncation: an undated pit containing burnt material. The made ground layers were cut by a substantial quarry pit. This pit contained three sherds of medieval pottery, but it is possible that these were residual. Also cut into the made ground were the fragmentary and poorly-preserved remnants of a series of red brick-built wall foundations and associated floor surfaces. These apparently relate to the Redbourn Brewery, which was situated to the rear of the Bull Inn and was demolished by the mid 20th century. Some of the bricks, however, were 17th/18th century in date, which is earlier than the first documentation of the brewery in 1866. This raises a number of possibilities: either the brewery was 17th/18th century in date but no documentation pre-dating 1866 survives; the brewery buildings dated from the mid 19th century but re-used bricks from an earlier structure; or the brewery was housed in earlier buildings.
