Abstract: |
In September 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land on land at Oakfield, 126 High Street, Great Barford, Bedford MK44 3LF (NGR TL 13275 51575). It is proposed to demolish the existing detached dwelling and outbuildings and erect three detached houses with garaging (BBC Planning Reference 12/01625/FUL). The evaluation revealed Late Pre Roman Iron Age Ditches F1005 (Trench 1) and F1014 and F1025 (Trench 3), located in the north-western sector of the site. Their presence and alignment corresponds to the ditches recorded by aerial photography (dated 2009/10) and interpreted as possible enclosures and structures to the north of this site. Pit F1017 (Trench 3) also contained Late Pre Roman Iron Age pottery. Though Pit F1017 contained just two pottery sherds, F1005, F1014 and F1025 contained 16, 44, and 9 sherds respectively. Associated finds comprise animal bone, sparse iron fragments and charred plant remains. The latter suggest that the features are on the periphery of a settlement as opposed to within. |
