Abstract:		 Planning permission has been granted by Bedford Borough Council, to construct 260 residential flats and associated services on land at the former Britannia Ironworks, Kempston Road, Bedford. Bedfordshire County Council''s County Archaeological Officer (CAO) advised that the area being considered for development was archaeologically sensitive. Previous investigations within the development area had highlighted the presence of a medieval boundary to the south-east of the development area and Bedfordshire''s Historic Environment Record marks an area of land immediately to the south-west as the site of Cauldwell Priory, a medieval monastic institution of which (archaeologically) very little is known. The evaluation revealed part of a medieval building, a small quantity of pre-modern human remains and modern structural remains associated with the Britannia Ironworks. A small quantity of residual middle Iron Age pottery was also recovered. The medieval structural remains were probably part of the medieval monastic complex of Cauldwell Priory. If so, the identification of surviving elements of the Priory is highly significant as its actual physical location has never been conclusively demonstrated before.
