Abstract:		 Between April and June 2005 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological field evaluation at Home Farm, Cranfield, Bedfordshire. The development area is c.16.56 hectares in size and lies only 150m south of the High Street Court Road junction (the historic centre of Cranfield) and immediately south of the parish church (St Peter and St Paul''s church). A geophysical survey followed by the opening of a total of thirty-six trenches was implemented in order to complete the Stage I works. The evaluation has demonstrated that the development area contains archaeological remains, of regional significance, dating from the Iron Age, Roman, Saxo-Norman and medieval periods. In particular there is evidence for Iron Age settlement, agricultural and funerary activity, Roman settlement activity, non-specific Saxo-Norman activity and medieval settlement activity. A number of less significant post-medieval and modern features were also identified. Two undated inhumations were also identified. These are thought to be early prehistoric in date and are of regional significance.
