Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper examines four ostensibly separate archaeological features: a town market-place, an ancient ford across a river, an enigmatic ringwork, and a recently discovered broad droveway running for several kilometres through nearby countryside -- all located within the valley of the river Ivel in central Bedfordshire. The river has served as a boundary throughout much of the historical period, dividing the parish of Biggleswade from that of Old Warden and the hundred of Biggleswade from that of Wixamtree. It has also tended to discourage archaeologists from making connections between townscape and countryside. The first part of this paper examines the four components separately, summarising the evidence available and problems (of form, function and chronology) which need to be addressed. These issues are tackled in the second part of the paper by considering the components in relation to each other rather than as distinct and separate entities. It is argued that the individual components make much more sense when taken as parts of an inter-related and evolving system of animal transhumance, linking upland, valley and developing urban zones.
