Abstract:		 Aims The aims of this project as defined in the approved WSI (Watson 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 aims were to consider the settlement pattern and use of landscape in the Iron Age; settlement types and the transition from Iron Age to the Roman period (Medlycott 2011: 30-31) as well as 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 In line with the requirements of the CBCAT, the methods used were as follows: • A single trench, which was 10m long by 2.30m wide, was excavated down to the natural geology (Fig. 4). • The trench was hand cleaned and recorded in accordance with the WSI (Watson 2022) • All archaeological features were hand dug and recorded. Discrete features were initially excavated to 50% as outlined within the WSI; however, due to the lack of datable material, the posthole was excavated to 100% and the pit was excavated to the water table. In December 2022, KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook an Archaeological Evaluation at the Land to the rear of 115 Station Road, Lower Stondon, Henlow, Central Bedfordshire as a condition for the development of the site. A single 10m long trench was excavated within the footprint of a proposed detached dwelling. Three undated features, consisting of a pit, ditch and a posthole were observed to the south of the trench and a post-medieval land drain was located to the north. The site is located on the hinterlands of a small early-mid Iron Age settlement to the north and a later larger Iron Age settlement to the east. Iron Age features relating to probable livestock management were located to the south of the site; However, due to the lack of dateable material, the features uncovered for the purposes of this investigation cannot confidently be associated with any particular time period.
