Abstract: |
In June and July 2006 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out a watching brief for Anglian Water Services Ltd along the c.2.1km long by 24m wide easement of a reinforcement water main, which ran across open farmland between Barford Road and Kimbolton Road, east to north-northwest of Wilden, Bedfordshire. A single large feature was revealed during the groundworks for the reinforcement water main. The Historic Environment Record lists the location of a medieval/post medieval mill or windmill (HER 3139) in the area of the revealed feature. Dateable finds were not recovered from the fill and it could define the position of an infilled field pond although it is possible that it was the borrow pit from which material was excavated to form a windmill mound. |
