Abstract: |
Following an initial stage of evaluation, an investigation was carried out in four areas along the proposed route of a watermain, between a small wood to the south-east of Moggerhanger and the western outskirts of Sandy, Bedfordshire. Two gullies, probably related to an area of cropmarks that have been interpreted as the remains of an Iron Age/Romano-British farming settlement, were revealed in the area near the small wood. The presence of a Roman road, previously identified from cropmarks shown on aerial photographs, wascconfirmed. The ploughed-out remains of the road lay to the west of Sandy and comprised a sand and gravel agger, c8-20m wide, with attendant side ditches. In the area at the eastern end of the route the road had been cut by two undated gullies and disturbed by modern activity. |
