Abstract:		 In May-June 2017 an archaeological evaluation and observation recording project took place at 77-79 High Street, Bedford, Bedfordshire during the conversion of the property to a shop and apartments and the construction of a single storey rear extension. An evaluation trench was situated within the footprint of the new extension and uncovered the remains of a Saxo-Norman pit, interpreted as backyard activity from the High Street. A stone wall was also exposed representing a structure or building pre-dating the existing building on the site (pre-1795), and a single course of post-medieval bricks were also found. The site also displayed a series of modern made-up ground deposits, with a sondage excavated to expose the natural strata. The footing trenches for the new extension were also monitored which were primarily excavated through made-up ground.
