Abstract:		 In order to advise the planning authority on the nature and extent of archaeological remains surviving on a proposed development site located at 72-74 South Road, Baldock, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to carry out a programme of pre-determination archaeological evaluation. This included the preparation of a desk-based archaeological assessment in 2007, and trial trenching plus an historic building impact assessment in 2008. The desk-based research demonstrated the potential for remains dating to the Iron Age and Romano-British period to be present on the site, but the trial trenches revealed only an undated gully and a modern wall footing. The existing buildings on the site were not considered to be of historical significance.The site lies to the northeast of the village, within Area of Archaeological Significance No.19, as identified in the District Local Plan which encompasses a series of cropmarks identified from aerial photographs. On the basis of the known archaeology in the immediate vicinity of the present site, the HEU advised that an archaeological investigation be undertaken prior to the development. The archaeological investigations on the present site revealed little evidence for archaeological activity. A late nineteenth century wall and an undated gully were encountered during the Stage 1 evaluation and a post-medieval well and a modern animal burial were found during the Stage 2 fieldwork. Despite the site's proximity to significant remains dating from the Iron Age onwards, in particular Romano-British cremation burials, no evidence of this date was observed during the current investigation.
