Abstract:		 This report summarises the results so far of an ongoing investigation into a Roman settlement at Manton Lane, Bedford. Evidence indicates that the site contains masonry buildings with painted walls, glazed windows, and at least one room with an underfloor heating system (hypocaust). In addition, the presence of stucco work — a rare type of decorative moulding found at only a small number of Roman sites in Britain — suggests that the site may be of unusually high status. It is hoped that future work will help to determine the layout and extent of the settlement and provide further insight into the status of its inhabitants.
