Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) for the erection of a two-storey classroom extension and a hall extension at St Mary's Lower School, Stotfold. Due to the archaeological potential of the site a condition (no. 4) was placed on the planning consent, requiring a scheme of archaeological work to be undertaken. The archaeological excavation revealed a late Saxon pit and three probable medieval ditches The profile of the late Saxon pit is suggestive of a small water pit or well. The presence of moderate amounts of late Saxon pottery within the pit suggests that it was located close to domestic settlement. None of the probable medieval ditches produced any artefacts. However, they are tentatively dated by association with ditches found in 2010 during an earlier investigation within the school site, which contained pottery of probable 12th-century date. The three probable medieval ditches may represent field system boundary ditches. The absence of any artefacts suggests that they were located some distance from any settlement.
