Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	MOLA Northampton was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of Hall Bros/ Smiths Construction, to carry out archaeological observation on the site of the former quarry at Whitsundoles Farm, Salford, Bedfordshire, during the restoration of the landfill site. The first stage of the archaeological observation and monitoring took place during the importation of inert material to raise existing ground levels across agricultural land to facilitate the establishment of woodland and associated habitat (CB/13/02450/MW). The second stage of works involved archaeological recording during the construction of a noise attenuation bund built around the landfill area. The archaeological observation works therefore comprised two distinct phases; the first stage was the observation of the vegetation strip across the proposed land fill area. The second phase comprised the monitoring and archaeological recording within an area from which the topsoil had been removed to provide the base of a clay bund in the northern part of the site. The site is situated within an extensive and rich archaeological landscape with evidence dating from the Mesolithic up to the present day. The archaeological works confirmed the presence of ditches which are assumed to be prehistoric in date although no dateable material was recovered. A posthole of unknown date and a probable hedgerow were also recorded.
