Abstract: |
During December 2005 ASC Ltd undertook a watching brief at 9a High Street, Wymington Bedfordshire, during the initial groundworks for the construction of a new house. The site rises northwards from the street. During the project it became clear that levelling for several earlier cottages had removed the natural land profile, and any archaeological deposits which may have been present. The most recent of these cottages was probably built during the mid 19th century and was constructed of brick and stone, with tile floors. Towards the rear of the site the original land profile survived with c.350mm of topsoil overlying the natural limestone bedrock. No finds or artefacts earlier than late 19th century bottles and white china were observed during the watching brief. |
