Abstract: |
As the result of a condition placed on the planning permissions for the creation of an earth bund, and a new access road at Etonbury Farm, Stotfold Road, Arlesey, beds, the Heritage Network was commissioned by David Beatham Esq to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the ground clearance works on the site as defined by the County Archaeological Officer at Bedfordshire County Council. The ground level across the site was reduced to the first significant archaeological horizon, to allow the identification of archaeological features and deposits. An extensive archaeological landscape was revealed extending outside the areas of investigation in all directions. The eastern half of the site included a series of large linear features principally on a north to south alignment. These appear to represent field boundaries on the edge of an occupation site. The middle and western half of the site contained soil marks indicating a variety of cut features including probable pits, postholes and possible graves. These features are indicative of buildings and occupation on the site. The surface finds suggest a date range from the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age through to Romano British period. |
