Abstract:		 Planning permission has been granted by Luton Borough Council (LBC) for the regeneration of the Marsh Farm housing and retail area in Luton. The Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologists (CBCA) act as archaeological advisors to LBC. In this instance, they advised that the development site had the potential to contain heritage assets with archaeological interest. from the CBCA. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to produce a written scheme of investigation (Albion Archaeology 2014) and to undertake the trial trenching. The trial trenching revealed a pit that contained a small amount of unworked, burnt flint and no other artefacts. It was fully excavated during the trial trenching but remains undated. The trenches also revealed modern intrusions associated with the demolition of blocks of flats and garages that occupied the site until recently. Modern pipe trenches associated with services to the former buildings were also identified. It was noted that none of the trenches contained a buried topsoil or subsoil; the modern demolition layer directly overlay the undisturbed geological horizon. This indicates that some degree of truncation of the ground has occurred, either during levelling and landscaping associated with the construction of the blocks of flats, or during the process of their demolition. This suggests that if any shallow archaeological features were once present within the site, they would have been destroyed by development processes in the recent past. The undated pit identified within the site is of negligible significance and has no potential to address regional archaeological research agenda.
