Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology Ltd conducted an evaluation at a proposed development area (PDA) off Vandyke Rd, Hockliffe Road and Stanbridge Road east of Leighton-Linslade in order to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the PDA. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. A total of fifty three trenches were excavated in the PDA in order to test anomalies identified by an earlier phase of non-intrusive evaluation (geophysical survey). These anomalies mainly comprised suspected remnants of medieval field systems (ridge and furrow) and a small number of discrete features and linear features of a possible archaeological origin. Areas where no anomalies had been identified by the geophysical survey were also tested. The trenching identified a ditch and some small pits containing residual prehistoric pottery. It also identified the sub-surface remains of medieval ridge and furrow. A small number of undated post-holes and linear features (possibly a slightly different type of furrow/field ditch were also identified. The presence of ridge and furrow cultivation confirms that the site was part of the medieval and postmedieval agricultural land east of Leighton Buzzard, whilst the limited nature of earlier features and very sparse amounts of pottery recovered from these features indicates that the site was also peripheral to settlements in those earlier periods.
