Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an evaluation at a proposed development site at The Recreation Ground, Park Crescent, Stewartby, Bedfordshire in order to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the site. The work was commissioned by O and H Properties. A total of twenty trenches were excavated over the Development Area (DA) which revealed limited archaeological remains comprising ditches and a pit of late Iron Age date as well as modern drainage features. The Iron Age features contained abraded pottery and animal bone and their location and distribution indicates they are likely to represent the remains of field systems on the periphery of more concentrated activity located outside the DA. These remains are considered to be of local significance. |
