Abstract: |
Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a residential development on land south of Potton Road, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. Prior to the recent work no archaeological remains were known within the site, but it lies within a region of known archaeological activity and a landscape containing significant prehistoric ceremonial and funerary remains. Eight trenches representing a 2% sample of the site were opened. Archaeological features were found in six of the trenches but in most cases these were single isolated pits or ditches. Only in one trench in the northern corner of the site was there a concentration of remains. These comprised four pits, three of which probably date to the late Neolithic (c. 2700-2000 BC). One of the isolated features is datable to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. |
