Abstract:
Wixams First Ltd has been granted planning permission for the creation of four garden villages or neighbourhoods on land near Elstow, Bedfordshire. An archaeological evaluation of this land identified several areas of archaeological sensitivity and these were designated as Areas 1-6. All of these areas have been investigated and the results of that work have been disseminated. A further Area (7) was designated to cover the site of the former Elstow Storage Depot. At the time, Area 7 was not subject to below-ground archaeological evaluation due to the presence of the buildings, roads and ancillary structures A meeting with the Bedford Borough Council Senior Archaeological and HER Officer (SAO) in August 2010 resulted in the SAO advising that the land would be best evaluated using trial trenching. The trenching would be utilised to test which parts of the site have no potential (due to 20th-century construction and demolition works) and which retain some potential (having not been affected by the above). The trial trenching showed that although some areas were heavily disturbed (due to modern construction and demolition works) much of the evaluated area, especially those areas that have been left as open land, were relatively undisturbed. This meant that there was potential for the survival of archaeological remains. However no features of archaeological interest were observed in any of the trenches.
