Abstract:		 A planning application was submitted to Bedford Borough Council for the construction of two detached dwellings, associated access, car parking, and landscaping at Land adjacent to 16B Tandy's Close, Turvey, Bedfordshire. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to produce a Written Scheme of Investigation (which was approved by the AO) and to undertake the evaluation. The archaeological investigation was undertaken on 1st March 2021. Two trenches were excavated measuring 10m long and 2m wide. No archaeological remains were found within the two trial trenches and no artefacts were recovered from the arising. The only evidence for former activity within the area was modern disturbance of the topsoil and subsoil, probably related to disposal of garden waste. A large pit identified in the side of Trench 1 also contained modern rubbish and garden refuse. The underlaying natural geology remained largely undisturbed The absence of archaeological features suggests that settlement associated with the Anglo-Saxon/medieval village of Turvey did not extended into the area Overall, in archaeological terms, the results of the evaluation are of negligible significance; the revealed deposits have no potential to address national or regional research objectives, as they are entirely associated with modern garden activity.
