Abstract:		 Luton Borough Council granted planning permission for the construction of student accommodation at 4 Lea Road, Luton. The development area was judged likely to contain archaeological remains related to medieval Luton and, in particular, the moat of Fulk de Breauté's early 13th-century castle. The excavation confirmed the location of the south-west arm of the moat of Fulk de Breauté's 13th-century castle. It was revealed to be similar in character to the north-west arm of the moat excavated in 2009 - appearing to be largely filled with deposits that had accumulated during the post-medieval and later periods. Though previous excavations a short distance to the north had revealed features likely to be associated with the use of the castle, no other features associated with the castle were revealed within the site. This may simply be due to the site's close proximity to the edge of the moat - a location unlikely to have been the focus of intensive activity. A colluvial deposit containing late Neolithic to early Bronze Age worked flint was also revealed. Though these artefacts are likely to have moved some distance from their originally deposited location, they do indicate activity of this date in the vicinity. No finds or features predating the Iron Age period have previously been identified within a 500m radius of the site.
