Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) for alterations and additions to an existing house, cottage, bungalow and flats to form two new dwellings and two single timber-clad garages at Silsoe House, Silsoe in Bedfordshire. Due to the archaeological sensitivity of the site of the planned works, a condition (no. 12) was attached to the planning consent requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological works. The required programme of archaeological works is described in the CBCA brief (CBCA 2013) and comprised the observation and recording of relevant groundworks and investigation of any revealed archaeological remains. Archaeological observation and investigation during the groundworks took place on 29th January and 14th May 2014. Though much of the area appears to have suffered little in the way of modern truncation, no archaeological features or deposits were revealed within the observed groundworks. However, given the relatively small size of the area observed, there remains the potential for the survival of archaeological features and deposits within the vicinity. The post-medieval ditches that were revealed within the trial trench evaluation (Albion Archaeology 2014) undertaken subsequent to this investigation were not observed within the nearby service trench or within the area excavated for parking. However, the ditch deposits were revealed at depths of 0.8-1.2m beneath the current ground level - significantly deeper than the level reached within the service trench or car parking area.
