Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned by The Victor Farrar Partnership on behalf of The Church of All Saints Parochial Church Council to oversee groundworks associated with excavation of foundations for new sleeper walls at the west end of the south aisle in the church in Little Staughton, Bedfordshire, and to investigate and record any archaeological remains that were uncovered. The attendance of an archaeologist had been requested by the Diocesan Archaeological Advisor (DAA) as a precaution against the discovery of archaeological remains during the building groundworks. The archaeological investigations carried out during the building groundworks revealed floor make-up deposits probably associated with the construction of the south aisle in the 14th century, and the renewal of the floor in more recent times. Evidence for the site's earlier use as a graveyard was present in the form of numerous disarticulated human bones. Pottery dating suggests the use of the site from as early as the Saxo-Norman period. Whether this very early use was associated with a contemporary church or a secular settlement is not clear from the results of the archaeological investigations. |
