Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the erection of an orangery with cellar and a verandah at the White House, School Lane, Husborne Crawley, Bedfordshire. The Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist (CBCA) advised that the development site had the potential to contain heritage assets with archaeological interest. A condition requiring archaeological mitigation works was attached to the planning permission. The requirements for the works were set out in a brief issued by the CBCA; the methodology for the works was detailed in a Written Scheme of Investigation, prepared by Albion Archaeology. The construction of the new orangery and cellar at the eastern end of the existing building had the potential to impact on buried remains, if any were present. This area was subject to archaeological monitoring during groundworks carried out by the building contractor. The overburden consisted of a modern gravel surface above a mixed deposit closely derived from underlying geological deposits. The investigation uncovered two modern (20th-century) ditches and part of a pit or ditch that contained fragments of post-medieval tile drain. All of the features were cut into the undisturbed bedrock which consisted of the Woburn Sands Formation (Lower Greensand) approximately 200mm below the modern ground surface. |
