Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an earthwork survey and trial excavation on land overlooking the valley of the River Great Ouse, to the west of little Odell, Harrold, Bedfordshire. The study has been occasioned by a proposed planning application for the construction of a stable, its access road and associated hardstanding. The earthwork survey and subsequent trial excavation were designed to determine the location, extent and nature of any archaeological features, together with their integrity and state of preservation. The location of the trial trenches was informed by the earthwork survey The remains are very well preserved and survive immediately below the base of the topsoil. They represent walls of stone and earth, floors, pits, postholes and hollow ways. Analysis of stratified pottery from the trial excavation (the great majority of which is 12th-13th century in date) suggests the remains represent part of the early medieval settlement of Little Odell. |
