Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Luton Borough Council to carry out a programme of archaeological investigation ahead of the extension of Vale cemetery, Luton in Bedfordshire. The investigation followed trial trenching carried out in 2005 which demonstrated the presence of Iron Age Roman and medieval remains within the proposed development area (Albion 2005). A continuation of the medieval ditch investigated during trial trenching was revealed in Zone 2. A ditch in Zone 1, previously interpreted as medieval from artefacts recovered during the evaluation, now appears to be of a later, post-medieval date. Zone 1 contained seven tree throws and Zone 2 contained one tree throw. The investigation of these features may indicate that the un-phased irregular features previously revealed in Trench 8, may also have been tree throws. Only one feature of possible medieval date was encountered in Zones 1 and 2, confirming that the majority of archaeological remains are focused in the western half of the proposed development area. |
