Abstract:		 A small archaeological excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on a playing field at Shefford Lower School, Shefford, Bedfordshire prior to the proposed construction of a pre-school. The work was carried out subsequent to an earlier evaluation, during which a Romano-British ditch was found. The excavation area was positioned over the trial trench and uncovered a longer length of the ditch, which continued on the same north-east to south-west alignment. The ditch is possibly a field boundary or enclosure ditch located some distance from any settlement. Finds from the ditch fills from both the evaluation and excavation included a small quantity of Roman tile and an opaque blue glass globule, possibly a fragment of decoration from a 1st century AD glass vessel. A medieval bronze buckle was recovered from the subsoil.
