Abstract:		 A planning application is to be submitted to Central Bedfordshire Council for the change of use of land adjacent to Ampthill Road, Flitwick, to football pitches and associated changing rooms and other facilities. The field evaluation comprising the excavation of 32 trial trenches measuring 2m in width and 40m in length took place between 10th and 18th June 2013. The archaeological evaluation uncovered a number of moderately well preserved features beneath the topsoil throughout the site with a higher density in the south-eastern part if the site. The features included ten small to medium-sized ditches. No artefacts were recovered from any of the ditches, so that they are not datable. The layout of the ditches in the evaluation trenches suggests that they are more likely to be drainage features than boundary ditches. They are not aligned on the current field boundaries. The fills mainly comprise fine silt and clay sediments, which further suggests that the ditches are related to land drainage. In summary, although a number of heritage assets (in the form of sub-surface features) were found at the site, the recovered evidence suggests they are of limited archaeological interest and of no more than local significance only. They have no potential to contribute to archaeological regional research priorities.
