Abstract:		 Bedford Borough Council has granted planning permission (09/02543/FUL) for the construction of a detached dwelling and garage on land at Silverdale, Manor Road, Kempston Hardwick, Bedfordshire. This programme of work was to initially comprise a trial trench evaluation. The results of this work would be used in the formulation of an appropriate mitigation strategy for any revealed archaeological remains. The trial-trench evaluation demonstrated that archaeological remains are present within the development site. These remains comprised one ditch in each of the two evaluation trenches. Both of these ditches appear be re-cuts of earlier ditches. Interpretation of the dating evidence from the features is not straightforward. It is possible that both ditches are Roman in origin with one of the re-cuts dating to the medieval period. However, only a limited quantity of pottery was recovered and all of it is abraded to some degree. It is, therefore, equally possible that the ditches were originally dug and re-cut in the medieval period or later. The small size of the pottery assemblage and its abraded condition also suggest that the development site is some distance from any focus of past settlement in the area
