Abstract:
DH Barford and Co Ltd are collecting baseline data for an area of land east of Biggleswade Road, Potton. The land has been allocated for housing, employment, community use and green space in the Central Bedfordshire Site Allocation DPD The archaeological field evaluation comprised geophysical survey followed by trial trenching. Twenty-three of the 31 excavated trenches contained archaeological features. These comprised ditches and pits dating from the medieval, post-medieval and modern periods as well as a number of undated features. No archaeological features were found in Trenches 1-4 (in the lowest lying part of the site), 10, 29, 33 or 34. The majority of the medieval features identified within the site appear to be associated with land division away from any main settlement focus. However, more substantial amounts of pottery recovered from pits within Trenches 7, 14 and 15 suggest some degree of settlement activity in the vicinity. The majority of the features identified within the site were dated to the post-medieval and modern periods. They are associated with land division and management which are generally considered to be of less significance.
