Abstract:
A planning application for the construction of almshouses on land at the rear of 13 Bedford Street Woburn. The southern and western parts the evaluation revealed the remains of post-medieval and modern activity in the form of ditches, pits and structures of probable Georgian date. In the north-eastern part of the site were the remains of late medieval/early post-medieval field systems were encountered. Also in the north-eastern part of the evaluation, evidence was revealed for Roman settlement from the1st-3rd centuries AD. This included evidence for late 1st-early 2nd century industrial pottery production in the form of wasters, seconds, fragments of kiln discs/plates and large quantities of pottery. The discovery of 1st-3rd century Roman settlement and industrial activity has pushed back the origins of Woburn by almost one thousand years and it represents the discovery of a hitherto unknown Roman settlement in the eastern region. Despite the evident plough truncation within the area, the presence of a nearby kiln cannot be ruled out. Similarly, the presence of 2nd-3rd century brick demonstrates the potential for significant structures in the vicinity. These remains are considered to be of regional significance and have the potential to significantly add to our knowledge of Roman settlement and local pottery production in Bedfordshire and the east of England.
