Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation in support of possible redevelopment of the remaining area of the former New Road Nurseries, Great Barford, Bedfordshire. The archaeological field evaluation comprised seven trenches of various lengths totalling 340m. The distribution of archaeological features discovered across the site showed a marked contrast between the two areas. The Northern Area contained a concentration of archaeological features including pits and postholes as well as sequential ditches, dating to the Roman period. Generally, the ditches appear to be a continuation of linear cropmarks identified in the adjacent area. Archaeological remains in Southern Area comprised several ditches, quarrying (possibly Roman and modern in date) and layers of probably alluvial origin. The possible E-W aligned trackway, identified as two closely spaced parallel cropmarks to the east of the PDA on aerial photographs correlate to a concentration of ditches in Trench 7, although there is some discrepancy in the alignments. Modern disturbance appears to have destroyed the western continuation of these features The Roman pottery assemblage ranges from the1st to late 2nd centuries AD. It includes both local wares as well as those from the wider region. A single, heavily abraded sherd of possibly early Iron Age pottery was identified from one of the ditches in south-east corner of the site, at least suggesting contemporary activity in the vicinity.
