Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief and strip, map and sample investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the development of an artificial multipurpose sports pitch with fencing, a storage container and associated works at Roundwood Park School, Roundwood Park, Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The fieldwork revealed evidence of Roman period settlement activity of the 1st to 4th centuries. Parts of a small enclosure, dated from the 1st to 2nd centuries, identified at the north-western edge of the investigation area may represent evidence of internal subdivision of a large scale enclosure recorded during a previous watching brief adjacent to the current site (ASC 2010). A second phase of activity can be dated to the 3rd and 4th centuries, and includes a possible boundary ditch as well as a likely four post structure and associated dumped deposit and a small hearth feature. Secure dating of the features was achieved on the basis of a relatively large and well-preserved pottery assemblage, including vessels imported from continental Europe and a very rare fragment of a Roman costrel. A small assemblage of early medieval (Anglo- Saxon) and post-medieval pottery was also recovered, in addition to a number of iron nails and hobnails.
