Abstract:		 Central Bedfordshire Council granted planning consent for the construction of a four-bedroom house with a detached garage at 2 Totternhoe Road, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire. Stage 1 of the archaeological investigation comprised evaluation by trial trench. If significant archaeological remains were encountered during this stage, further archaeological investigation might be required (Stages 2 and 3). Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological evaluation of the site. It revealed a sequence of activity from the medieval period to the post-medieval period within Trench 2. Trench 1 contained no archaeological features. The medieval remains comprised six ditches and an erosional hollow. The moderate amounts of pottery recovered from the features and their close grouping within Trench 2 are sufficient to indicate that the ditches are enclosure boundary features. They are likely to be associated with domestic settlement activity, possibly within the backyard of a dwelling fronting onto Totternhoe Street. A late medieval / early post-medieval quarry pit extended beyond the southern end of the trench. Artefacts indicate that it remained as a depression within the local landscape until at least the 17th century. A series of post-medieval ditches truncated the medieval features. Their differing alignment suggests re-organisation of the layout of boundaries in the area. Two stone-filled post-pads indicate the presence of a structure; it could be relatively modern in date, given that the features survive immediately below the topsoil.
