Abstract: |
In response to a planning condition on the construction of a side and rear extension and a detached garage at 6 The Green, Ickwell, Beds., the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the groundworks. Monitoring of the development groundworks revealed a stratigraphic sequence of topsoil above a layer of subsoil, which sat directly on the natural clay. Ordnance Survey mapping shows that the site remained undeveloped until the mid 20th century and, although the site lies on the edge of a village green which is thought to have medieval origins, no evidence for activity pre-dating the modern period was observed during the present project. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were observed during the course of this work. |
