Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land proposed for housing at Bossington Lane/Stoke Road, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard. The evaluation identified a concentration of pits, ditches and postholes occupying the western slopes of a small hill. The majority of the features are dated to Roman period, 1st - 3rd centuries AD and represent a small farmstead together with field boundaries. Finds include Roman pottery, roof and floor tile, ironwork including a Roman 'spud' or hoe and half a rotary quern. Two of the pits contained iron smelting debris. Evidence of early to mid Saxon occupation was also present with pottery dated to 5th - 9th centuries and a typical annular loomweight. Quarry pits had been dug, possibly for the extraction of clay.
