Abstract: |
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development on land at 28 Grange Street, Clifton, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. Three pits and an east-west oriented ditch, of medieval or later date, were revealed during the site strip and sample was excavated from one of the pits which contained a small quantity of peg tile and abraded pottery. The ditch was interpreted as a medieval field boundary and the pits were interpreted as post-medieval. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains of any significance may be considered to be Low for Prehistoric, Roman and Saxon and High for the medieval and post-medieval periods. |
