Abstract:		 In line with the requirements of the brief, the methods used were as follows: • An archaeological field evaluation of the site, originally comprising thirteen 40m trenches measuring 1.8m wide. • This was carried out using a 9 tonne backhoe loader fitted with a 1.6m wide toothless bucket. • The final trench layout was slightly altered to accommodate unforeseen obstacles. Trenches 8 and 10 were moved in order to avoid the existing access road and hard standing. In addition, Trench 13 was bisected in order to avoid excavating beneath overhead power cables. The longer 32m trench to the north of the cables remained Trench 13, and the shorter 8m trench to the south was renamed Trench 14. The excavation of fourteen evaluation trenches at land to the rear of 29-33 Clophill Road, Maulden, Bedfordshire revealed no evidence of archaeological features, save for some ceramic land drains. The ridge and furrow known to be present on the site could not be seen in the evaluation trenches due to its extremely low profile. The horizon between the subsoil and the natural soils was diffuse and very disturbed, which also made it difficult to discern any subtle change in site formation from the trench sections. The lack of other archaeological features can be explained by the position of the site beyond the historic core of the village. It is also possible that the trenches lie between widely dispersed archaeological features.
