Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological evaluation of a site, in the medieval settlement of Lavendon. A total of three trial trenches were opened. The evaluation revealed that the demolition of the cottages and subsequent creation of the Highways depot had not significantly damaged the archaeological remains. Two undated features where identified below deposits associated with the construction and use of the cottages. An undated boundary ditch, orientated roughly north-south was recut on several occasions. Further north in the central part of the site, perpendicular pitched limestone footings for walls of a building were identified, sealed beneath a horizontal layer of limestone fragments and crushed lime mortar. This would appear to define an earlier though undated phase of occupation of the site. A limestone culvert truncated the associated demolition spread, though again, the contrasting alignment to the cottages may suggest that it was not associated. The construction of the cottages fronting Olney Road resulted in a significant modification to the site. It is possible that at this time the terrace, aligned parallel to Olney Road was created, cutting into the rising ground to the east. To the rear of the cottages the external surfaces associated with the northern and southern cottages contrasted, with pitched limestone fragments in the north, whilst horizontal limestone slabs were replaced by tarmac in the south. The evaluation indicates that the site had been utilised for an extended period of time, with evidence for a substantial boundary ditch and foundations for a building which predated the cottages. The cottages which occupied the site until the 1950s were part of an extensive row of uniform appearance. The features suggest that these were all constructed as a single development in the mid 19th century.
