Abstract:		 Bedford Borough Council proposes to develop land at 2a Castle Lane, Bedford. The site is situated within the limits of the scheduled ancient monument of Bedford Castle Mound and Gardens (National Monument no. 20412). Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment and field evaluation in order to determine the nature, likely date and significance of the archaeological remains on the Study Area. The only feature identified as part of the castle itself is the moat, which lies beneath the northern perimeter of the Study Area. No trace of a rampart survived, but evidence of medieval timber buildings and settlement was found. A brick-lined well-shaft was an unexpected discovery; this was probably a well used by the 19th-century Castle Brewery. The central part of the Study Area contained deposits of dumped soil c.0.5m thick that dated from post-1750. These deposits have low archaeological value, but they provide evidence for the relatively recent use of the site.
