Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the minerals extraction permit for an extension to Sandy Heath Quarry, Sandy, Beds, The Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on the topsoil stripping of the site. A number of known cropmarks have been recorded crossing the site. In the course of the present works, five linear features were observed, although none of these provided any dateable evidence. Three ditches appear to represent a trackway running NW-SE across the study area. A further ditch on a parallel alignment to the trackway and 95m to the southeast, may represent a contemporary field boundary. The fifth linear is probably modern. There was no evidence of any settlement inside the limits of the present site. |
