| Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Bedfordshire County Council for the construction of a single storey extension to form three classrooms and ancillary areas at Stanbridge Lower School, Tilsworth Road, Stanbridge, Bedfordshire . An archaeological evaluation consisting of two trial trenches was undertaken in August 2006 (OASIS id albionar1-17678). On the basis of these results, the CAO recommended further archaeological investigation. In December 2006, Albion Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological mitigation works. The remains comprised ditches forming part of a series of enclosures (which were re-cut on at least one occasion) and a single pit. All of the features are dated by pottery to the early medieval period (AD1150-1250). The ditched enclosures are likely to be the boundaries of closes associated with settlement ranging along the northern edge of a former village green. The excavation produced no evidence for activity post-dating the early medieval period, suggesting that domestic activity ceased at that time. |
