Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning permission was granted by Bedford Borough Council, for the replacement of a conservatory with an oak-framed garden room to the rear of Laburnum Cottage and the construction of a new access drive. The works included the demolition of the old structure prior to its replacement. The archaeological observations at revealed that there are substantial areas of made-up ground, both at the front and the rear of the cottage. Mixed gravel deposits recorded in the footprint of the new extension may also be the result of backfilling of quarries in this area. During the quarrying and earthmoving operations parts of a human skeleton were imported onto the site and dumped within the gravel deposits. This was most likely an inadvertent and not deliberate act. The date of the human bones is unclear. The lack of artefacts within the deposits suggests that there was no nearby human habitation in the medieval period or earlier. The quarrying and earthmoving most likely took place in the post-medieval period prior to and as a preparation for the construction of Laburnum Cottage, which was built c. 1700.
