Excavation in advance of engineering works along the M1 from
Junctions 6a to 10 (between Hemel Hempstead and Luton) revealed
significant archaeological remains of wide-ranging date. Important
evidence for late Mesolithic and early Neolithic activity,
including pits, was found at Junction 9, while later prehistoric
features were more widely distributed but less concentrated. Late
Iron Age and Roman features were most common, with significant
rural settlements at Junctions 8 and 9, and further evidence for
trackways and enclosures elsewhere. These sites were of fairly low
status and concerned with mixed agriculture, though incidental
activities included manufacture of puddingstone querns. Occupation
was most intensive in the 1st-2nd centuries AD and on a reduced
scale in the late Roman period. At Junction 8, however, an
east-west trackway apparently survived as a landscape feature and
in the 12th and 13th centuries was adjoined by a ditched enclosure
containing structures belonging to a substantial farmstead.
