Abstract: |
Bedford Borough Council granted planning permission for the partial demolition and extension of an existing dwelling, erection of one new dwelling and reconfiguration of existing access, drive and parking at Trinity, Spring Hill, Little Staughton, Bedfordshire. Given the permitted development area's potential to preserve archaeological remains from the Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods, a condition was attached to the permission which required an archaeological strategy for evaluation and, if necessary, further mitigation. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to produce a Written Scheme of Investigation and to carry out the archaeological evaluation, and four trenches were excavated. The evaluation revealed no archaeological remains. Whilst there was evidence of modern landscaping in the form of made ground directly above the natural geology in Trench 1, which might suggest some level of truncation, in general there was little evidence to suggest that archaeological features, should they have been present, would not have survived.
