Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological observation and recording of groundworks relating to the extension of an existing Grade II listed building was carried out on land at 19 Church Street, Ampthill, Bedfordshire, MK45 2PL. The archaeological monitoring identified a layer of buried soil, under modern and post-medieval deposits relating to the construction of the extant building. This buried soil was relatively undisturbed and was present across the whole of the building footprint, at slightly greater thicknesses to the south, away from Church Street. This buried soil contained large quantities of medieval pot, suggesting that it may relate to middening, rather than casual discard or loss. This middening may have taken place in the back-garden plots of properties off Church Street, itself the main axis of the medieval town in this period. Two small possible postholes were also identified, one of which cut into and one of which was sealed underneath this layer. The presence of these deposits indicates that the area of the site has not been significantly truncated by later activity, with a good level of preservation evident throughout.
