Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the erection of an end-of-terrace dwelling at 2 Station Road, Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire. The permission included a condition requiring a programme of archaeological works as the site lies within a landscape characterised by a high density of prehistoric to medieval settlement sites. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by the developer to undertake the archaeological works. The groundworks for the building foundations were excavated on 24th July 2017 under constant archaeological observation. The groundworks comprised strip footing up to 3m deep and ground reduction of 250mm for internal floor levels. No archaeological features or artefacts were found revealed by the groundworks. The layers observed in the sides of the foundations consisted of topsoil and two geological layers. The upper geological layer was mid-yellow-brown sandy clay approximately 1m thick. This is probably Head, material formed by downslope movement during the Quaternary period; it forms the recorded superficial deposits beneath Marston Moretaine. The lower layer was Peterborough Member Mudstone (Lower Oxford Clay).
