Abstract:		 As part of the faculty requirements, the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring during the groundworks for the construction of an exterior access ramp at the Church of St John the Baptist, Church Lane, Aldenham, Herts. The present project is part of an ongoing scheme of works to improve the facilities at the church. The groundworks consisted of an area of ground reduction, which measured 19m in length and 1.80m in width, on the north side of the church. The ground was reduced by 0.12m across the whole area, removing an existing tarmac surface. Two narrow channels, 0.35m in width and between 0.30m in depth at the western end and 0.45m in depth at the eastern end, were created on the northern and southern sides, leaving a central island. The stratigraphy exposed in the sections below the tarmac comprised a layer of very dark greyish brown (10YR 3/2) friable silty clay topsoil, 0.10m in depth, above a dark yellowish brown (10YR 3/4) sandy silty clay subsoil, over 0.30m in depth. This has been interpreted as a cemetery soil. The natural substratum was not reached during the present works and no evidence for cut graves or other archaeological features was observed. The only finds noted were unstratified artefacts, largely of post-medieval date, although two sherds of Hertfordshire Greyware pottery, of 12th-14th century date, were noted.
