Abstract:		 Bedford Borough Council granted planning permission (14/00261/DC3) for the construction of two new classroom blocks, a covered walkway, a footpath and an extension to the existing car park at Shackleton Lower School in Bedford. Due to the archaeological sensitivity of the site of the planned works, a condition (13) was attached to the planning consent requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological works. The required programme of archaeological works is described in the HET brief (HET 2014) and comprised the observation and recording of relevant groundworks and investigation of any revealed archaeological remains. Archaeological observation and investigation during the groundworks took place between 23rd July and 8th August 2014. The only archaeological feature revealed was a short length of a small ditch [205] in Trench 2 located to the rear of the main school building. It contained a small number of artefacts that suggest it dates to the Roman period and adds to the small, but growing body of physical evidence for Roman settlement activity in the immediate vicinity of the school. No archaeological features were revealed in Trenches 1, 3 or 4, though the ground reduction within Trenches 1 and 4 was not deep enough to reach the archaeological horizon. It is also possible that the previous landscaping of the school grounds, indicated by the large areas of levelling and make-up layers present within the areas of the groundworks, have truncated former archaeological remains. Such a scenario could well be the cause of the very shallow surviving depth of ditch [205].
