Abstract:		 The evaluation identified three Bronze Age burial monuments (ring ditches). No burials were located. It was likely that Early-Middle Iron Age settlement was located within the development area as pottery of this period was identified. However, it was not until the Late Iron Age/early Roman period that extensive settlement was present. This appeared to have continued throughout the Roman period. Features including ditches, pits, post holes, and a hearth were present. The nature and arrangement of these features suggested that the Kempston Church End settlement continued into the development area. If so this would have extended over 16ha and with its regular layout would have represented a significant settlement, possibly a large village or small town. A number of features truncated alluvial deposits, which were often believed to derive from river flooding in the later Roman period. These features, including post-built structures, may therefore have been Saxon in date. Medieval furrows within the development area represented evidence for agriculture and were only of local significance. [Au(abr)]
