Abstract: |
In November 2003 Albion Archaeology attended the excavation of ground-works and footings in advance of the construction of a new classroom at Ursula Taylor Lower School, Clapham, Bedfordshire. A programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording was then undertaken during the ground-works phase of construction. The remains of a probable NW-SE aligned, shallow ditch were identified within the development area. This ditch is of indeterminate function but may represent some sort of boundary feature, possibly related to the manor house or medieval settlement excavated in 1987. The remains were moderately well preserved with evidence of later root damage. The conditions and nature of the construction work prohibited a clearer understanding of their function and extent. As a probable boundary ditch, with potential associations with known medieval settlement activity, these remains are considered to be of local significance |
