Abstract:		 Oakbridge Homes Ltd obtained planning permission for the demolition of the existing 'Branksome' bungalow at George Street, Maulden, and the erection of six dwellings and associated landscaping and parking. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a trial trench evaluation. The evaluation identified archaeological features in two of the three trenches. The features date from the post-medieval (c. 1500-1750) to the modern period (post-1750). Trench 1, in the south-west of the area uncovered a large quarry pit, two ditches and an undated pit. The quarry pit contained a few finds, including pottery dating from the 17th or 18th century. This feature probably represents sand extraction in the roadside waste before it was included within the boundaries of the present plot. The two ditches contained a small amount of material dating from post-1750, and may be related to activity associated with a building that is first shown on the Ordnance Survey map surveyed in 1881. Trench 3, uncovered a pit, ditch and possible quarry pit. The features date from post-1750. The ditch contained a moderate assemblage of domestic debris, including some pottery dateable to the later 18th or the first half of the 19th century. The evidence from this trench may be associated with a triangular enclosure containing a building that is illustrated on maps of 1797 and 1821.
