Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological investigations at Not-se Road, Bedford, in advance of residential development, revealed a small-scale rural settlement/farmstead dating from the middle Iron Age to the Romano- British period. A densely interwoven pattern of enclosures, droveways and boundary ditches occupied a low promontory overlooking the floodplain of the River Great Ouse. No clear focus of settlement within the complex of cropmarks could be identified; rather all the enclosures are indications of compounds renewed successively within the same general area. Evidence suggests a primarily pastoral and mobile economy and a possible relationship with another site known from cropmarks nearby. Excavation of the large eastern enclosure, which represents un early phase of activity, was undertaken as part of a mitigation strategy. It was truncated on its western side by a boundary ditch which probably enclosed the Romano-British focus of settlement to the west. On the basis of the archaeological evaluation, this latter area was set aside as a designated public open space. | |||
