Abstract:		 Catesby Estates Limited are gathering information on Land off Campton Road, Shefford, Bedfordshire, in support of a planning application for development. The potential development area lies at the western edge of Shefford, adjacent to an area of known high-status Roman settlement and a potential cemetery (Luke et al. 2010). The wider landscape is characterised by heritage assets dating from the prehistoric to the post-medieval period. The Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist (CBCA) advised that an archaeological field evaluation must be undertaken (in the form of a geophysical survey and trial trenching) in order to obtain information required to compile a heritage asset assessment to accompany any future planning application. Following a geophysical survey that was carried out in January 2014 (ASWYAS 2014), Albion Archaeology was commissioned to produce a written scheme of investigation (Albion Archaeology 2014) and to undertake the trial trenching. The trial trenching revealed two furrows of probable medieval origin and a shallow pit, land drains and two pig burials of post-medieval to modern date. No features of Roman date were identified and no residual Roman finds were present in the spoil heaps from any of the trenches. This indicates that the western and southern boundary of the Roman settlement lies outside the area
