Abstract: |
In order to determine the archaeological risk posed by a proposal to develop land at The Rose and Crown, 14 London Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Costdeal Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation.Three trial trenches were opened across the proposed development area. The investigation showed that the west end of the site has been reduced to allow the construction of a barn in the southwestern corner, which still survives on the site. A series of walls were encountered, representing the original western end of this structure. The natural geology rose to in the east of the site, indicating that the whole plot has not been completely reduced. A concentration of garden features were observed in the eastern half of the site, the majority possibly relating to onion cultivation, along with a possible fence line and a potential pond. An undated ditch at the eastern end may be earlier and relate to an original site boundary. The depth of overburden at this end of the site demonstrates that this area was built up during the modern period. |
