Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological observation, investigation and recording were undertaken during works associated with the demolition of existing light industrial buildings and the erection of two 3-bedroom dwellings and garages at 4 Moor End Lane, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire. The development area lies within the outer margin of the medieval village of Eaton Bray. No buildings are shown at the site on either the tithe map of 1849 or enclosure map of 1860. Two buildings are shown on the site on the OS map of 1880, one of which appears to have been demolished by the time of the 1920 OS map. The other building is assumed to have been demolished prior to the construction of the current buildings on the site. The groundworks comprised the excavation of geotechnical test pits, foundation trenches for dwellings and garages and a number of service trenches and manholes, as well as general ground reduction. Investigation and research have concluded that the site has been re-developed several times throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. This is reflected in the results of the archaeological observation, during which no features pre-dating the modern period were found. The majority of features and deposits can be associated with a previous light industrial complex and late 19th-century building. They mainly comprise large disturbed areas where material extraction and backfilling occurred. Make-up and levelling layers were recorded throughout the site, which also suggest it has been subject to repeated re-landscaping and re-development. It is apparent that the works undertaken on site prior to the current development have had a severe impact on the ground and have most likely already destroyed any archaeological sub-surface remains that might once have existed.
