Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the construction of a seven-bedroom care facility in the form of a two-storey building and associated car-parking area on land at Treow House, Parkside Drive, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the first stage of the investigation which comprised archaeological field evaluation in the form of trial trenching. Three trenches were excavated, archaeological features and/or layers of 19th-century date were present in all three trenches. The features comprised two parallel building foundations of un-frogged brick, two ditches, an expansive shallow feature, a pit, a post hole, and three layers, all of which were found to contain 19th-century artefacts. The location, alignment and size of the foundations are a good match for a range of buildings illustrated on the OS first edition map of 1886 as Chantry Farm. The foundations and other features within the trenches are interpreted as part of the farm and its internal yard area. No features or deposits pre-dating the 19th century were present in any of the trenches. |
