Abstract: |
Planning consent was granted for the erection of four detached dwellings with associated garages on the land to the rear of 33-43 Ickwell Road, Northill in Bedfordshire. The planning submissions divided the site into two land parcels (Areas A and B) each with two dwellings proposed. An archaeological evaluation had been previously undertaken on Area A (Heritage Network 2013). Accordingly, the CBCA requested a multi-staged archaeological investigation of Area B, commencing with Stage 1: trial-trench evaluation, and archaeological monitoring and recording of Area A. The archaeological investigations were undertaken in two stages, commencing with a trial-trench evaluation of Area B and archaeological investigation and recording in Area A between 23rd May and 29th August 2018. The trial trenching demonstrated that much of Area B is probably devoid of archaeological remains, apart from a modern ditch situated adjacent to the eastern boundary of the area. The investigations within Area A identified further pits and ditches of post-medieval date, although no evidence directly related to the brick-making process were uncovered. The general presence of broken brick across Area A was noted, however. |
