Abstract: |
Archaeological trial excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology, on behalf of Bloor Homes, at the former Cranfield University Site, Silsoe, Bedfordshire. Two phases of trial trenching were undertaken following on from a geophysical survey that had not identified any definite archaeological features. Archaeological features found in two trenches in the north-western corner of the site included boundary ditches and pits dating to the 10th-12th centuries. They may be remains of settlement activity related to West End Road to the north of the site. Further ditches and pits were dated to the 18th century. There were no further remains across the remainder of the site, probably due to the landscaping and groundworks related to the construction of the former university campus. |
