Abstract: |
Bedford Borough Council granted planning permission for the erection of two one-and-a-half storey dwellings on land at The Paddock, Bell Lane, Cotton End. Three trenches were excavated and were positioned to target the footprint of the new buildings. Archaeological features and layers of 19th/20th-century date were present in all three trenches. They comprised four ditches, a concrete and a brick foundation, a pit, a post hole, and a layer, all of which contained modern artefacts. The ditches are interpreted as modern boundary/drainage ditches associated with Cotton End village. The foundations are interpreted as the remains of the 20th-century glass houses known to have been present on the site from aerial photographs (BBC 2016). The pit, post hole and layer are contemporary with the glass houses and probably associated. No features, deposits or artefacts of earlier date were present within the trenches. |
