Abstract:		 In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological trial trench evaluation of land at The Ancient Raj, Knight Street, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire CM21 9AX (NGR TL 48380 14856). The evaluation was carried out compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of four dwellings and associated landscaping / parking following the demolition of the restaurant and garages/stores (EHDC Planning Ref. 3/16/1507/FUL). It was required based on the advice of the Hertfordshire County Council Historic Environment Advisor (HCC HEA). The evaluation revealed archaeological features in three trenches (Trenches 1, 3 and 4) but not the smaller trench towards the back of the site (Trench 2). The features were principally discretes (pits) and included some linears (ditches). The majority (six) of the features were of 18th - 19th century date. Four features: Ditch F1016 and Pit F1018 (Trench 3), and Ditch F1012 and Pit F1014 (Trench 4), each contained one or two sherds of residual medieval (10th - 12th, and 12th - 14th century) and late medieval (15th - 16th century) pottery. Two features: Pits F1026 and F1029 (both Trench 1) contained late 16th - 18th, 17th, and late 17th - 18th century pottery sherds.
