Abstract: |
A programme of observation and recording was undertaken at 127 Turnpike Drive, Luton, Bedfordshire, in June 2014 as a condition of planning permission for the development of the site. The property is located immediately south of Drays Ditches, a Scheduled Monument consisting of an Iron Age boundary of multiple banks and ditches that crossed the prehistoric routeway known as the Icknield Way. Two foundation trenches were monitored but no cut features or finds were revealed. The depth of the clay overlying the chalk natural, however, was approximately 1m deep and is thought to have been partially formed from the upcast from the excavation of Drays Ditches and once formed part of the associated bank or banks |
