Abstract: |
During June and August 2004 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Old Linslade Manor, Bedfordshire. The site is close to a manorial settlement and had the potential to reveal significant archaeological remains. Eighteen trial trenches were excavated (Figs. 3 and 4) and two features were investigated within trench 12: A substantial, deep modern pit [1202] and a probable geological feature visible as a slightly darker band within the sand subsoil [1204]. No archaeological deposits were revealed in the remaining trial trenches. While the presence of occasional isolated features away from the trenches cannot be entirely excluded, it is unlikely that large quantities of archaeological remains are present on the site. A number of irregular, shallow earthworks are present, which may have led to the identification of the site as a deserted medieval village. 19th century maps record the presence of old sand quarries close to the site and the earthworks observed may be further evidence of sand quarrying as may the deep modern pit [1202] revealed in trench 12. |
