Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2018 at Arlesey Road, Stotfold, Bedfordshire. Thirty-two trenches were excavated. Two Roman ditches were revealed within the north-western quadrant of the site possibly forming an enclosure which extends to the northwest. Two pits containing Roman pottery were also found in this area which lies within close proximity to the excavations to the north of Arlesey Road and the cropmarks forming a 'D' shaped enclosure to the west of site. It is likely that the Roman features found during this evaluation represent the outlying features to one or both of these settlement foci. Evidence for post-medieval/modern activity comprise a shallow ditch and possible parallel service trench, a possible ditch and a pit also all in the north-western quadrant of the site. A large area in the north-western corner of the site also appears to have been disturbed by a glass bottle dump possibly infilling an extraction pit seen on Ordnance Survey maps from 1924 to 1960. Four other undated ditches and two pits were also exposed in the northwest of site. The only feature that was found outside this area was a shallow undated east-west orientated ditch in the southeast of the site.
