Abstract:		 A mixed development is proposed on land to the west of Ampthill Road, Bedford. The majority of the application site was formerly occupied by the Krupp-Camford Automotive Engineering Works. Because of the site's archaeological potential, Bedford Borough Council Historical Environment Team (HET) requested that the results of an archaeological evaluation be included in the Environmental Impact Assessment. No previous archaeological work has taken place within the application site and no known archaeological artefacts have been recovered from it. A total of 20 trenches of varying length were opened within the site. Trenches 1-6 and 16 were situated within an area of former gravel extraction. The deposits found within these trenches were almost exclusively related to quarrying and subsequent backfilling. No archaeological remains survived in this area. Trenches 7-15 were situated on what would have been a raised promontory overlooking the former gravel workings. The deposits encountered in these trenches seem largely to be associated with post-medieval agricultural land-use and farmstead settlement. The permission is conditional on the completion of a second evaluation in the area of the main Krupp-Camford Engineering works building that falls within the Phase 1 development footprint. This area was not included in the first evaluation because it would have required heavier plant than was available to break through the reinforced concrete raft of the building's floor. This second stage of evaluation took place as part of the pre-construction enabling works and plant provided by the Principal Contractor permitted the opening of four trenches. All four trenches were found to be within the area of former gravel extraction. The deposits within them were exclusively related to quarrying and subsequent backfilling, overlain by deposits related to construction of the engineering works.
