Baldock is a Romano-British small town and Late Iron Age settlement located in Hertfordshire, England, which developed from an Iron Age nucleus into a modest urban centre during the Roman period. The site has yielded substantial archaeological evidence of occupation spanning from the Late Iron Age through to the Roman period, including pottery, coins, and structural remains that attest to continuous settlement and commercial activity. Its significance lies in its transition from a pre-Roman native settlement to a functioning Romano-British town integrated into the wider Roman economic and administrative network. The settlement is positioned on a route of strategic importance, and its archaeological deposits have contributed substantially to understanding settlement patterns and economic life in Roman Britannia and the Iron Age landscape of the East Anglian region.
