Abstract:		 The location of the boundaries of the Anglo-Saxon burh of Bedford, and the origin of the street grid, are matters of great historical interest. Evidence from an archaeological watching brief sheds new light on these issues. While the narrow trenches of the recent town centre enhancement scheme inevitably produced evidence of a fragmentary nature, a broad picture, nevertheless, did emerge. Besides expected traces of urban occupation from late Saxon to postmedieval times, by far the most significant discovery was a large ditch of probable 9th century date running E-W along the present course of Midland Road. This feature is interpreted as the northern boundary of the early burh. Some wider implications of this interpretation are explored in this paper.
