Abstract: |
The construction of Luton Aquatic Centre is proposed on the eastern part of Stopsley Common, Luton, an area previously considered (through baseline sources) to be of significant archaeological potential. A trial-trench evaluation was proposed in order to assess the area's archaeological potential, thus enabling Central Bedfordshire Council's Archaeological Officer to make an informed recommendation to Luton Borough Council with regard to the planning application. Stopsley Common lies in an area of extensive archaeological remains. The evaluation revealed a small concentration of archaeological remains of varying significance. The earliest date to the late Iron Age, with some suggestion of late Bronze Age / early Iron Age activity, though most of the remains are essentially undated. A few post-medieval remains associated with Swifts Farm were discovered, but no evidence was found of Swifts Green medieval settlement within the evaluated area. |
