Abstract: |
In February 2009 ASC carried out a programme of evaluation trenching at Wilbury Farm, Arlesey, Bedfordshire, to assess its archaeological potential prior to the construction of a grain store and associated access road. Seven trenches were opened across the site, within the footprint of the proposed building and road. No archaeological cut features, deposits or artefacts were observed in any of the trenches. The stratigraphy of the trenches suggests the topsoil on the higher, more exposed ground has been eroded by the wind, and ploughing has homogenised the topsoil and subsoil. At the lower end of the site the soil structure has been maintained, and some colluvial deposits were noted. |
