Abstract: |
Field walking was undertaken at Elstow as part of an evaluation of the site which was being considered for inclusion in the Bedford Borough Local Plan. Concentrations of Late Iron Age material were consistent with the results of an adjacent excavation and confirmed that the site continued northwards into the study area. The paucity of finds of this date from the area of cropmarks in the north-east of the site was curious though artefacts may have been masked by modern debris associated with the construction of the Southern Orbital Sewer and Bedford Southern Bypass. A concentration of Saxo-Norman-medieval material in the north-east of the site was probably related to medieval occupation associated with the site of Elstow Abbey and the medieval village of Elstow.
