Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of three trenches in the locations shown in Figure 2: • Trench 1: measuring 21m long by 1.8m wide; • Trench 2: measuring 10m long by 1.8m wide; • Trench 3: measuring 9m long by 1.8m wide. The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the site, focusing on the areas within the footprint of the planned development. The original plan was to excavate two trenches; however, the planned location for Trench 2 was crossed by an unmapped service, located during CAT and genny scanning of the planned trench locations. A dense pile of broken asbestos roofing material was also located in this area (Fig. 3). With the approval of the CBCA, it was therefore decided to modify Trench 1 into an L-shape by adding a 6m long extension, and to create two new north-west/south-east aligned trenches (Trenches 2 and 3) to investigate the northern half of the development area. n November 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Manor Farm, Sutton, Bedfordshire, at the request of Brown & Co. A total of 3 trenches were excavated across the accessible parts of the development area. No remains of archaeological significance were found. In Trenches 2 and 3, post-medieval brick wall foundations were revealed, relating to a building depicted on Ordnance Survey maps dating from 1884 into the 1960s. The walls likely represent the remains of a former outbuilding of 18th/19th century date belonging to Manor Farm. Deposits of made ground directly overlying the natural geology as well as a significant height difference between ground levels within the site and the higher ground to the south and east provide further evidence of extensive truncation within the development area that would have adversely affected the preservation of any archaeological remains that may have originally been present.
