Abstract: |
During November and December 2005 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to Colmworth Golf Course, Colmworth, Bedfordshire. The work was required to locate, define and characterise any surviving archaeological remains prior to construction of a fishing lake and restoration of the land. Eight trenches were excavated, of which four produced no archaeological features. Two medieval or post-medieval drainage ditches were located in the south-western area of the site, along with one undated gully. Two pits were identified to the north; a shard of medieval pottery was recovered from one of these, the other only containing animal bone. In addition, a feature was identified towards the centre of the site which contained medieval pottery. This trench was extended to reveal that this was a large linear ditch or pond-like structure. These results show that there was activity on this site during the medieval period, although probably peripheral to the nearby medieval settlement of Smartwick. |
