Abstract:		 In June 2012 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of the Saracen's Head hotel, 45 High Street South, Dunstable, Bedfordshire (NGR TL 0207 2173). The archaeological evaluation (Stage 2) was preceded by a geophysical survey of the site (Stage 1). The evaluation was commissioned by Seabrook Architects on behalf of Sterling Developments (London) Ltd and undertaken in support of a planning application to construct a new development of residential units. The site is situated on the northern side of High Street South which follows the course of Roman Watling Street, and close to its junction with a Roman road that followed the course of the ancient Icknield Way. This area was the location of the Roman settlement of Durocobrivis. The northern part of the site lies within the area of the Scheduled Ancient Monument of the Augustinian Priory of St Peter. The site had a potential for Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains. In the event the Stage 2 evaluation revealed a 19th-century wall foundation constructed of reused stone (M1016), possibly from the medieval priory. It also revealed possible remains of a former (19th century) stable block (M1014 and M1015), a possible 19th century ditch or foundation trench (F1025), one undated pit (F1018) and an area of made ground.
