Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an intrusive evaluation of before the construction of a new autism unit at St Swithun's Lower School, Sandy, Bedfordshire. The evaluation revealed no archaeological remains. With the exception of undisturbed geological strata, all deposits encountered were modern in origin. The evaluation revealed that land had been subject to two distinct phases of 20th-century landscaping. The first pre-dated the school and comprised large scale ground reduction followed by the introduction of levelling layers and a landscaped topsoil surface, c. 0.7m below current ground level. The second comprised ground works, observed in the south-eastern part , for concrete surfaces and paths associated with the construction of St Swithun's Lower School in the 1990s. Further levelling layers were also added at this time, bringing the ground to its current level. Given the extent of mechanical disturbance in the later half of the 20th century, it is very unlikely that pre-modern remains are preserved within the DA.
