Abstract:		 The archaeological advisor to Bedford Borough Council requested a programme of observation, recording, analysis and publication for groundworks associated with a new temporary classroom. The new classroom was constructed above ground so the potential archaeological impacts were limited to the associated utility trenches and hard play area. During monitoring of ground disturbance nearly forty sherds of Roman, medieval and post-medieval pottery were recovered. The majority of the Roman assemblage is dated to the 1st and 2nd centuries and includes types found within previous nearby investigations. The smaller medieval assemblage includes types of both early and later medieval date. Although no Roman archaeological features were observed within the ground disturbance works, this may well be because only the topsoil and upper part of the subsoil were removed. In places, the latter had the appearance of alluvial (flood) clays and therefore it is possible that in situ archaeological remains might still survive below these layers.
