Abstract:		 Bedfordshire County Council Countryside Access Service carried out improvement works to the rights of way network in the vicinity of the scheduled moated site near Hill House, Old Warden, Bedfordshire. Consent for the necessary groundworks for a new footpath within the ancient monument was granted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on condition that they were carried out under archaeological supervision. Groundworks within the scheduled area included the hand excavation of four holes for waymark posts and the hand excavation of two level indentations either side of the moat inlet channel for housing sleepers to support a bridge. All works requiring archaeological monitoring were completed on 15th July 2008. The waymark post holes measured approximately 0.2m across and were excavated to around 0.7m deep. Clay silt topsoil and subsoil layers were observed overlying the undisturbed clay geology which was reached at approximately 0.6m beneath the ground surface. The indentations for the bridge supports did not penetrate the subsoil, each only measuring around 2.5m long x 0.3m wide and up to 0.15m deep. No archaeological features, deposits or finds were revealed during the course of the groundworks. Although the groundworks were undertaken in close proximity to earthworks associated with the moated site, no archaeological remains were revealed. However, given the small scale of these groundworks, there remains a strong possibility that buried features and finds associated with the moated site, still survive in this area.
