Abstract:		 A planning application has been submitted to Central Bedfordshire Council for the development of residential housing on land at New Road/Harbrook Lane, Clifton. The field evaluation comprised the excavation of 7 trial trenches measuring 2m wide and from 30m to 50m long. The archaeological evaluation uncovered a number of well preserved features beneath the subsoil located in the northern of the two fields comprising the site. The features included four medium-sized ditches, two of which were re-cut/renewed, and one large pit. Dating evidence was available for one of the ditches and its re-cut and the pit, placing their origins in the post-medieval period. Dating evidence for the remaining three ditches was either not present or unreliable. The layout of the ditches revealed in the evaluation trenches suggests that they are all on the same or similar alignment to adjacent existing field and property boundaries. This alignment, along with the character of the ditches, suggest that all probably represent boundaries of some sort and supports a post-medieval or later date for them. In summary, although a number of features were found at the site, the recovered evidence suggests they are of limited archaeological interest and of no more than local significance only.
