Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the conversion of the Two Brewers Public House in Stotfold into a residential dwelling, along with the construction of three new dwellings - two in the former public house car park and one in the former beer garden. A condition attached to the planning consent (Condition 4) required the implementation of a programme of archaeological investigation as a consequence of the development. A trial trench evaluation comprising the excavation of two 15m x 2m trenches and one 10m x 2m trench located within the footprints of the three new dwellings represented the first stage of this programme of work. Three ditches were revealed beneath the overburden during the trial trenching - one visible within both Trenches 1 and 2; and two within Trench 3. Of these, only ditch [306] within Trench 3 could be dated with any degree of confidence; two recovered pottery sherds indicate that it may date to the late Iron Age period. The pottery sherds, along with a small amount of recovered animal bone, shell and fired clay fragments suggest some level of settlement activity within the vicinity of the site. Though containing no artefacts that could be precisely dated, the two undated ditches were both sealed beneath the subsoil suggesting they are likely to date to no later than the post-medieval period.
