Abstract: |
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development on land adjacent to 102 High Street, Henlow, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological field evaluation. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. Two trenches were opened, with Trench 1 located across the drive and Trench 2 across the footprint of the proposed new dwelling. No archaeological features deposits or finds were present in Trench 1, but a number of features were revealed in Trench 2. The majority of these appear to be of natural origin. A single dated feature was encountered. This was a sub-circular pit which contained two sherds of pottery dating to between the 9th and 11th centuries, together with cattle horn core and mandible fragments. No evidence for its function was identified, but it may represent a small gravel extraction pit. A second undated, but possibly contemporary, feature was also encountered. |
