Abstract:		 Archaeological trial excavations were undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology, on behalf of Bloor Homes, at Stanford Road, Shefford, Bedfordshire. The trenching followed on from a geophysical survey that identified a number of curvilinear features and several possible pits. A sub-rectangular feature contained early-middle Saxon pottery, suggesting that it may be the remains of a Saxon sunken-floored building. Similar pit-like anomalies on the geophysical survey may indicate further such features in the vicinity. A number of possible boundary ditches may have been contemporary. There were further, scattered features in many of the trenches although the majority were undated. A substantial ditch, aligned east to west, dates to the post-medieval period. The ditch lay on a similar orientation to a footpath and may be a former field boundary, although it is not visible on historic maps.
