Abstract:		 Aims The aims of this project as defined in the approved WSI (Watson & Kaye 2022) were: • To establish the date, nature and extent of activity or occupation within the development area. • To establish the relationship of any remains found to the surrounding contemporary landscape. • To recover palaeo-environmental remains to determine local environmental conditions. In addition, the research aimed inter alia to consider various aspects of the development of rural Saxon, medieval and post-medieval settlements; their origins, morphology, diversity and ultimate success or failure (Wade 2000: 24-25; Oake 2007: 14; Medlycott 2011: 70 and Edgeworth 2007: 121-123). Methods The method used was as follows: • The archaeological field evaluation of the site using two trenches: one measuring 5 x 5m and the second 4 x 5m (Fig. 4). In June 2022, KDK Archaeology undertook an Archaeological Evaluation at Orchard House, Orchard Road, Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, after the demolition of the existing detached house. The evaluation comprised the excavation of two trenches adjacent to the southwestern edge of the development footprint, which revealed a topsoil and made-ground layer overlying a diminishing layer of subsoil and the natural geology. The subsoil was thickest on the south-western edge of the trenches but had been increasingly truncated to the northeast causing substantial disturbance to the soil profile. This probably happened during the area landscaping and construction of the now demolished building. The excavation revealed no significant archaeological features, finds, or deposits within either trench.
