Abstract:
Archaeological observation, investigation and recording were undertaken during the construction of new satellite dishes at Bedford Teleport. Work was undertaken as a requirement of planning permission. The site lies within an area of archaeological potential - it is close to a probable late Iron Age settlement (outside the airfield perimeter); it contains wartime and post-war remains; and the nature of the airfield means little archaeological investigation has been permitted. Both previous investigations and theose located evidence for the use of this area for bomb storage during WWII. Evidence for the location, design and construction of storage buildings and access roads has been recorded. The accuracy of a 1944 plan of the airfield was confirmed, although some additional structures were located. The work has also indicated that ground disturbance resulting from activity associated with the WWII airfield is quite minima The investigation also recorded the location of one of the wartime concrete access roads which led to a nearby bomb store. The remains confirm the location of the road as shown on a plan of 1944.
