Abstract:		 Planning consent was granted for the erection of a two-bedroom detached dwelling with associated parking at Plot 8 Walnut Grove, Dunstable, Bedfordshire. A condition requiring a programme of archaeological investigation was attached to the planning permission. A strip, map and sample excavation measuring 12m by 5.3m was carried out in September 2015. Three NW-SE aligned ditches and a pit were found cut into chalk bedrock beneath 0.3m of garden soil. A large V-shaped ditch is a continuation of one seen during earlier work on an adjacent site to the north where it contained a small amount of Roman and early medieval (c. 1150-1250) pottery. The V-shaped ditch was partially truncated by a 2.5m-wide, flat-based ditch, the deliberate in-filling of which contained early medieval domestic and industrial debris. This included lava quern/millstone fragments, ferrous slag, a medieval rotary key and a quantity of clunch rubble which included fragments of squared and dressed building stone. Pit [9] contained a few sherds of early medieval pottery, fragments of lava quern/millstone and a residual late Roman coin. Ditch [13] was a shallow feature that contained a few sherds of medieval pottery. The results indicate activity in this area during the early medieval period and include possible construction debris from a stone building. A number of previous archaeological investigations have recovered medieval material in this part of the town, e.g. 158 High Street South (HER17735) and Half Moon Lane (HER11282). The site also lies near to the probable location of the St Mary Magdalen Hospital (HER154) which was founded in the late 12th century.
