Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the construction of a waste park on land at Thorn Turn, Thorn Road, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. The surrounding area contains extensive evidence of Iron Age, Roman and medieval settlement. For this reason, a condition was attached to the planning consent, requiring a programme of archaeological works, which Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out. These began with an evaluation in 2012 that identified remains dating from at least the Roman period onwards, as a result of which an area was demarcated for full archaeological excavation. The excavation was carried out between December 2015 and August 2016, and revealed late Bronze Age to early Iron Age field systems, trackways, and a small amount of settlement-related activity. A large well or water-pit that was associated with heating water also dated to this period. A Roman trackway was also identified, as well as the remains of medieval ridge-and-furrow cultivation, and post-medieval field boundaries and a sunken track.
