Abstract:		 Luton Borough Council has granted planning permission for a new recreation centre, the Luton Aquatic Centre, on land adjacent to Lothair Road Recreation Ground, Hitchin Road, Luton. Following advice from the Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeological Officer (AO), the LPA attached a Condition (18) to the planning permission, requiring a programme of archaeological works to be carried out prior to development. Following preparation of a desk-based assessment (RPS 2009), the site was evaluated in January 2010 by means of trial trenching The presence of archaeological remains triggered mitigation works (in October 2010) and the AO required the opening of four Strip, Map and Sample areas. The report combines the results of both the trial trenching (OASIS no:albionar1-74191) and the mitigation works. Investigations at the Luton Aquatic Centre have revealed an agricultural landscape, in existence possibly from as early as the Bronze Age, but with definite dating evidence from the late Iron Age/early Roman to modern periods. It includes direct evidence for late Iron Age/early Roman agricultural and livestock enclosures and a trackway as well as post-medieval enclosures, field boundaries and the remains of a medieval to post-medieval Manor House and Farm.
