In early 2006 ASC Ltd undertook an archaeological watching brief on behalf of VAH (DIY) Supplies during the construction of an extension to 339/339a High Street, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. During the ground works phase it became apparent that one third of the site had been terraced into the slope of the land. The remaining two thirds of the site was excavated in a piecemeal manner and revealed the natural clay-with-flints subsoil. There was no activity observed that pre-dated the20th century.
