Abstract: |
A planning application was approved by Bedford Borough Council (BBC) for the construction of a manège with associated fencing and drainage at Riverstone House, Westfield Road, Oakley, Bedfordshire.. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological watching brief, in line with a Written Scheme of Investigation that was approved beforehand. Monitoring of the groundworks revealed an undated north-south ditch in a trench dug south of the manège, where overburden was removed down to the top of undisturbed geological deposits. No archaeological features were encountered in the area of the manège itself, where the groundworks were mostly shallower. Pottery fragments and flint artefacts were retrieved from the topsoil and subsoil, however, attesting to activity in the area dating from the late Neolithic to the medieval period. The generally shallow nature of the groundworks means that any potential archaeological remains beneath the manège have been preserved in situ. |
