Abstract:		 Bidwells, on behalf of Central Bedfordshire Council, sought pre-application advice for the proposed demolition of three agricultural barns and the erection of 20 new dwellings at Manor Farm, Malthouse Lane, Stotfold, Bedfordshire. The trial-trench evaluation took place and comprised six trenches, measuring 12-31m long by 2m-wide, Despite being located in the immediate vicinity of a medieval heritage asset (Stotfold Green), the trial trenching showed little evidence for activity in this period. Trench 3 revealed a ditch that contained two abraded sherds of medieval pottery; the feature may date to the medieval period but it is equally likely that it is later in date (with the pottery being residual). Another residual medieval pottery sherd was recovered from a post-medieval pit in Trench 2. This limited evidence suggests a very low level of peripheral activity on the eastern outskirts of the medieval green. The remains are considered to be of no more than low significance Late post-medieval / modern features included a number of pits, some containing animal burials, and a possible pond or quarry pit. Foundation trenches were also revealed in Trenches 1 and 6; they correspond with post-medieval farm buildings and farmyard enclosures demolished between 2005 and 2008. Generally, the remains of this period are thought to be closely associated with activities within the Manor Farm complex. They are considered to be of negligible to low significance.
