Abstract:		 During August 2017 to September 2018, an archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the demolition and redevelopment of former garage buildings to provide 11 new dwellings at Swing Gate Lane, Berkhamsted. The watching brief revealed the remains of a number of postmedieval features. Possible evidence for the continuation of the terrace housing along the northern edge of the site was found with the survival of short sections of wall in the eastern corner of the site and along the southeast site boundary. These houses can also be seen on the historic Ordnance Survey mapping. The remains of a well dating from the 17th or 18th century were also revealed in the eastern half of the site. This well was later sealed off in the 19th century with a dome of brickwork overlain by a chalk backfill over the top. The remains of the corner of a brick structure were observed to the immediate south of the well, possibly representing part of a former outbuilding connected with one of the terrace houses fronting High Street. In the west of the site a possible latrine of 19th century date was exposed, which is considered likely to have served the residents of number 13 High Street. The remains of a possible boundary wall were exposed in the section along the south-eastern edge of the site and the remains of a wall, interpreted as evidence for a possible former outbuilding was partially exposed in the southern corner of the site. No archaeological remains pre-dating the post-medieval period were observed, however the stratigraphy revealed modern demolition and levelling deposits overlying natural geology indicating a degree of truncation as a result of post-medieval and modern activity. It is possible that any earlier remains pre-dating the post-medieval period have been removed as a result of later levelling and landscaping, if any such remains existed within the site.
