Abstract: |
Between April 19th and July 14th 2005 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological investigation on land off Meadway, Harrold, Bedfordshire. During this period ten groups of footing trenches were excavated to provide foundations for houses and garages. An archaeological evaluation was conducted on the Meadway development area in 1997 This identified that much of the eastern part of the site had been quarried away. However, archaeological structures and deposits survived further to the west. Full excavation of the north central part of the site followed . This revealed a high concentration of archaeological evidence including Neolithic burials and a funerary monument, an Iron Age cremation cemetery and evidence of early-mid Saxon occupation. Despite being located between two rich archaeological sites, only one potential archaeological feature was observed. This remains undated. |
