Abstract:		 Planning permission for the refurbishment and extension of the existing cottages and the construction of three additional detached dwellings, together with off-road parking, private amenity space and associated landscaping at 41-43 Cause End Road, Wootton, Bedfordshire was granted by Bedford Borough Council. The planning permission contained a condition requiring a staged programme of archaeological work. The initial stage of this work comprised field evaluation by trial trenching. The trial trenching comprised the excavation of four trenches, one measuring 10m and the other three measuring 15m in length and 1.8m in width, positioned to test the areas affected by the planned construction works within the development area. Historical maps show that the area ha\s been used as a garden since at least the late 19th century. The evaluation only identified archaeological features in Trenches 1 and 4; these comprised a probable furrow, a small gully and a probable roadside ditch. A modern make-up layer and some late post-medieval/Victorian make-up deposits were also revealed. Trenches 2 and 3 were devoid of archaeological features or deposits. Ditches [403] and [405] at the north end of Trench 4 were parallel to Cause End Road, suggesting that they had a boundary function between the property and the road. A furrow and gully located in Trench 1 indicate that prior to the construction of the cottages the area was probably part of the agricultural landscape surrounding Causeway End. Overall, the findings of the evaluation suggest that the area contains sparse archaeological remains, which are of no more than local significance and which have no potential to address regional research objectives.
