Abstract:		 The client commissioned Albion Archaeology to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation works associated residential development on a plot of land known as The Salt Box, Bedford Road, Lavendon. An earlier evaluation revealed a concentration of archaeological features in the NW corner of the site, Themitigation was undertaken in mid-December 2014, revealing several features surviving below extensive disturbance associated with the former use of the site. The earliest activity was a large pit which may have been a quarry for the extraction of gravelly sand. This appears to have infilled gradually. A very small amount of possible Romano-British pottery was recovered from the fills, though this is not thought to give reliable dating for the feature. Truncating this was a smaller pit, which correlates to the wattle-lined pit identified in the evaluation; however, the wood forming the lining had deteriorated markedly. Investigation of this feature recovered a large fragment of 19th-century glass. No sign of the continuation of the possible Roman ditch was identified further to the east. No further analysis or dissemination work is required on the data recovered during the mitigation works.
