Abstract:		 As the result of a condition on the planning permission for a proposed new development at Clophill House, High Street, Clophill, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to undertake the archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. Clophill House is a Grade II listed building, described as a late 18th century refronting of an earlier building. A parish map of 1719 shows a rectangular building along the street frontage, which may form the core of the present house. Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon and medieval activity has also been recorded in the vicinity. Evidence was revealed for a series of structures to the rear of Clophill House. These appear to have been industrial or agricultural in purpose. It is possible that the earliest structure was a brick-built oven, which had a base of ironstone slabs and a possible firing chamber to the side. Coal appears to have been the preferred fuel. This appears to have been removed at some point in the 18th century. The site then appears to have been occupied by a possible timber-framed structure, of possible late 18th century date, floored in brick and tile. This structure was apparently rebuilt in brick, on the same footprint, in the early 19th century, possibly during the 1830s. A number of undated cut features were encountered below the post-medieval structures. These were not investigated, and will be preserved in situ, as they lie below the proposed formation level. A brick-lined well was also exposed adjacent to Clophill House.
