Abstract:		 A fieldwalking survey was carried out, occasioned by a proposed planning application for the construction of a new brickworks. The site lay in Marston Vale, a low-lying clay vale located between the Greensand Ridge and the valley of the Great Ouse. The majority of the artefacts recovered were of medieval or post-medieval date. The majority of the medieval pottery was located towards the southern end of the site, in proximity to earthworks suspected to be of a similar date. Only three sherds of Roman pottery were collected, all from an area of cropmarks that had been presumed to date from this period. This was surprising, since Roman sites are normally rich in pottery and Bedfordshire's HER recorded that Roman and Iron Age pottery had been found in the vicinity of the cropmarks. While the scarcity of Roman finds in the present survey may have indicated that the cropmarks were not of Roman date, the most likely explanation was that recent ploughing had not been dug deep enough to disturb any archaeological deposits, resulting in a relatively sparse distribution of artefacts at the surface.
