Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land south of Landguard, Station Road, Sawbridgeworth, Herts in advance of residential development. Three evaluation trenches totalling 30m in length were excavated. No archaeological features pre-dating the post-medieval period were identified; however, the recovery of single sherds of Late Iron Age and early medieval pottery from the topsoil does indicate that there may have been earlier activity in the vicinity. In the medieval period this may have been agricultural in nature given the considerable distance from the site to the street frontages (c.50m south of Station Road and c.0.75m north of The Forebury). Two archaeological features were investigated, one was an undated pit of possible natural origin and the other a post-medieval boundary ditch. The ditch was aligned east-west and contained a variety of finds broadly dating from the late 18th to the 20th century. This boundary is shown on the first four editions of the Ordnance Survey. In addition, the rubble-filled remains of a former swimming pool were noted at the northern end of Trench 1.
