Abstract: |
Land at Kennel Farm Holding, Biggleswade, is proposed as a site for Travelling Showpeople in Policy GT16 (Site 82) of the Central Bedfordshire Council's Gypsy and Traveller Local Plan: Pre-Submission 2014. Accordingly, an archaeological field investigation of the site has been carried out prior to submission of the planning application to enable the impact of the proposed development on heritage assets to be considered. The evaluation followed a brief issued by the Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist. Prior to evaluation there were no records of archaeological finds or other heritage assets from the proposed development area. However, it is located close to a nationally important medieval moat and earthworks (Stratton Park scheduled monument) and regionally important medieval settlement of Stratton. Trial trenching located part of an enclosure system of early medieval date, situated on the periphery of the extensive settlement recorded to west and south. In isolation, these enclosures are relatively low in archaeological potential, with relatively small amounts of pottery and animal bone. However, they have potential to contribute to knowledge of nationally and regionally important medieval remains in this part of Bedfordshire. There is a slight possibility that archaeological remains of other periods survive that were not found within the trial trenches. An assessment has also been undertaken of heritage assets in the vicinity and the results presented in a heritage statement. |
