Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the erection of a single-storey rear and side extension following the demolition of an existing garage at 46 Kingsway, Dunstable, LU5 4HD. Due to the high archaeological potential of the site, a condition was attached to the planning consent requiring the development to be implemented in accordance with a written scheme of archaeological investigation The CBC Archaeology Team confirmed that a programme of archaeological observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication would be required to address the planning condition. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the works in accordance with a written scheme of investigation, Archaeological monitoring of the groundworks was undertaken between 29th September and 2nd October 2019. Only one feature that pre-dated activity associated with the standing building on the site was revealed: a NNW-SSE aligned ditch, which could date back to the post-medieval or, more likely, the early modern period. A footpath is marked in a similar location and alignment on maps dating to the 19th and early 20th centuries. The foundation trenches were excavated to depths of between 1m and 1.5m, exposing undisturbed geological deposits and overlying topsoil and subsoil. Though no evidence of the Roman or medieval settlement of Dunstable was revealed, it should be noted that the later features located within much of the area observed would probably have destroyed any earlier remains.
