Abstract: |
In March 2009, Albion Archaeology carried out an intrusive evaluation in advance of a new pool house and an extension to Battlesden House, Battlesden, Bedfordshire. In Trench 2, the evaluation revealed the remains of a small, double-skinned structure to the immediate west of the former stable block. Cartographical analysis has demonstrated that it dates from between 1881 and 1901. Given its proximity to the stables, it is likely to have had a utilitarian function. A ditch encountered in Trench 3 is likely to be a drainage ditch for the broadly N-S aligned track-way or path shown on the 1881 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. Other remains include two modern (probably 19th-century) pits and several 19th-century and later service trenches. |
