Abstract:		 This programme of work was to initially comprise a watching brief on groundworks relating to the demolition of existing industrial buildings, followed by trial trench evaluation. The results of this work would be used in the formulation of an appropriate mitigation strategy for any revealed archaeological remains. Stotfold is the site of one of the earliest Quaker meeting places in Bedfordshire and in 1667 the Quakers bought a cottage and one acre of land, now 77 High Street, adjacent to the site. The "acre of land" became the burial ground associated with the meeting house and was in use until 1855. Building works during a kitchen extension at 77 High Street in 2010 revealed three inhumation burials. The archaeological watching brief and trial trenching demonstrated that archaeological remains are present within the development area. These comprised two adjacent pits and a shallow ditch. The pits are likely to be early medieval in date and are indicative of settlement activity of this period within the vicinity. The ditch was post-medieval in date and probably represents a boundary or cultivation feature. No human remains or evidence for graves was found within the trenches or during the watching brief. This suggests that the adjacent former Quaker burial ground does not extend into the proposed development area.
