Abstract: |
Mid Beds District Council granted planning permission for the demolition of an existing greenhouse and construction of a new car port and garage at Newbury Manor, Ampthill Road, Silsoe, Bedfordshire. The proposed development lay within a scheduled complex of medieval earthworks. he Scheduled Ancient Monument at Newbury Farm comprises two medieval moated enclosures, associated leats and fish ponds (National Monument No. 11548). Groundworks within the scheduled area included the demolition of a modern greenhouse, machine excavation of fourteen holes for the footings for the garage and topsoil stripping of the driveway immediately to the north-west. Within the area of the driveway late medieval / post-medieval make-up layers were revealed. Cut into these layers were seven features dating to the late medieval / post-medieval and post-medieval periods. They comprised brick walls, brick-lined drains, a sandstone wall and a posthole alignment that are likely to be associated with the use of Newbury Manor in the late medieval and/or post-medieval periods. |
