Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was appointed to undertake a programme of archaeological works to fulfil conditions attached to planning permission granted by Bedford Borough Council. Ground disturbance requiring archaeological observation comprised the hand excavation of two narrow wall footing trenches: one internal, towards the northern limit of the standing building and the second in the yard immediately to the north, comprising a small extension to the existing building. The two trenches uncovered very similar deposits. A number of modern foundations and service trenches were identified cut into a layer of dark soil c. 0.7m thick. All of the exposed structural foundations and service runs were related to the modern use of the site. Where the underlying geology was exposed no evidence was found for earlier discrete features cut into it; nor was any evidence for large-scale disturbance such as cellars or quarrying found. |
