Abstract:		 Woods Hardwick Planning Ltd are gathering baseline information on land at Warren Farm, New Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire, in support of a planning application for the use of the site for pallet storage, refurbishment and recycling. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the evaluation, which included the excavation of eight 25m x 2m trial trenches, and to prepare the heritage statement. The trenches were positioned to target previously recorded cropmarks, whilst providing even coverage. A geophysical survey undertaken prior to the trenching, did not detect any archaeological features. The trial trenching revealed a variety of archaeological features in all eight trenches. Generally there was good correlation with the previously identified cropmarks; additional features were also identified. The presence of a prehistoric ring ditch and associated activity was confirmed, whilst most of the remains dated from the late Saxon to medieval period. The features were mostly ditches, with smaller numbers of pits and postholes. A possible water pit was also identified close to the feature revealed in the 1993 evaluation. In the northern part extensive dumping of modern debris was identified below redeposited topsoil. As a result, up to 1.2m of overburden sealed the archaeological features in this area.
