Abstract: |
Geophysical survey and trial trench excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on behalf of Connolly Homes and Denison Investments on land between Flitwick Road and Abbey Lane, Ampthill, Bedfordshire. A solitary Iron Age pit was found that contained burnt stone and parts of two or three pottery vessels. There were two possible postholes adjacent with no finds. The base of a post-medieval brick-built kiln contained large quantities of fuel ash slag. Of similar date to the kiln was a wide distribution of small post-medieval enclosures, many of which appear on early maps. The enclosures are thought to have been for horticulture or allotments and the kiln may have produced lime. |
