Abstract: |
In June 2010 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd undertook geophysical survey of 2.9 hectares and then evaluation trenching in February 2011, at a parcel of arable land located slightly north of the Black Cat roundabout, Nr Chawston, Bedfordshire. The geophysics and trenching have defined an area of Romano-British ditches and pits at the northwest of the potential development area (pda). The excavated features form a continuation of an extensive cropmark site focussed at the field immediately to the west. Elsewhere the evaluation defined agricultural activity interpreted as dating to the medieval or later periods; except at the southeast where two or possibly three undated shallow ditches may predate the medieval period. |
