Abstract: |
In November 2005 a service trench was excavated as part of improvement work at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire . The Diocesan Archaeological Advisor issued a brief , recommending that the work be observed archaeologically in case there was a need to record evidence discovered or disturbed by it. Albion Archaeology was invited by the project architect, acting on behalf of the Parochial Church Council, to undertake archaeological monitoring of the ground disturbance during insertion of the new gas pipe. The results of the observations demonstrate that the course of the pipe trench initially ran on undisturbed geological strata, first gravel and then clay. As it neared the church and as the clay dipped down, the trench was dug into a relatively modern layer of made ground seemingly filling the drop in ground level. No archaeological features, in situ burials, or artefacts of archaeological significance were revealed in the course of the work. |
