Abstract: |
In April 2014- January 2015 an Archaeological Observation and Recording project was carried out at The Gables, 3 Main Road, Biddenham, Bedfordshire during demolition of the west wing of the main house, garage and outbuildings to the rear, and the construction of a new west wing, garage, pool house, swimming pool and tennis court. The project uncovered the remains of a single ditch, orientated E-W within the ground reduced area for the new swimming pool. No function or date of the ditch could be established. The remainder of the monitoring revealed that the area close to the house consists of made-ground deposits, most likely associated with the houses original construction, whereas all excavations further away from the house identified an undisturbed topsoil, sub-soil and natural clay stratigraphy. |
