Abstract:		 The Fairhills site off Cut Throat Lane, Bedford has been proposed as a potential gypsy and traveller site. Because the site lies in an area of archaeological sensitivity, the Historic Environment Team (HET) of Bedford Borough Council recommended that a field evaluation be carried out to determine whether any buried heritage assets will be affected by the potential development and devise an appropriate mitigation strategy if they are. The trial trench evaluation revealed evidence for a possible late Iron Age/early Roman settlement area in the north of the site close to the river Great Ouse. It also revealed a background distribution of earlier prehistoric artefacts including worked flint and pottery found as residual artefacts in a series of linear post-medieval features. The function of the post medieval features is unknown. The possible presence of a late Iron Age/Roman settlement in the north of the site means that the proposed development would potentially have an impact on significant archaeological remains. However, they were revealed at depths of 0.65m to 1.1m in the lowest lying parts of the sites, so may be deeply enough buried not to be disturbed by the development.
