Abstract:		 In response to a condition on the planning consent for the construction of an extension at the rear of Capel House, Temple Close, Watford, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the groundworks. The present site lies across part of the service wing to Cassiobury House. Previous investigation immediately to the north had revealed walls and an undercroft relating to the early 19th century rebuilding of the mansion. The present project revealed three wall foundations, which can be approximately matched with walls marked on the 1837 plan of Cassiobury House, and two lengths of brick drain. Wall [101] is likely to form part of the south-west corner of the Bathroom. It is butted by the undated wall [102] which runs east from the Still Room. No brick was recovered to date this structure. Wall [103] is likely to form part of the eastern wall of the Still Room. Although no bricks were recovered to date the structure it stood above drain [104], which has been approximately dated to the 1830s and therefore the wall may date to a later phase of remodelling of the service wing. The drain appears to have continued to the south-east as a further length of brick-built drain, running on the same alignment, was uncovered in Trench 3. No evidence for activity pre-dating the early 19th century was recovered during the course of the present project.
