Abstract: |
The client has commissioned Albion Archaeology to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation associated with a pre-planning enquiry for residential development on a plot of land known as The Salt Box, in the village of Lavendon. The evaluation, with a total of six trenches being opened to investigate the areas of the main impact of the development proposal. In the Western trenches, archaeological features were revealed towards the street frontage. These ranged from a modern ditch and the cut for the construction cone of an adjacent brick-lined well, to a series of undated, intercutting features in Trench 2. The latter comprised a large rectangular pit, truncated by another pit, which contained wood, apparently forming a wattle lining. The margins of other another couple of features were also revealed. In Trench 3, a large pit was identified at the northern limit. A substantial ditch immediately to the south contained a small quantity of abraded Roman pottery. Below a series of modern deposits in the Eastern was a buried soil profile, with a small number of features, associated with the former agricultural use of the area. |
