Abstract:
January to February 2006. Oxford Archaeology carried out a series of field investigations at Luton Hoo, Hyde, Bedfordshire. The investigation revealed 3 main types of feature, all post-medieval in date. These include medium sized ditches, which are most likely the remnants of previous field boundaries or trackways, Large quarry pits, used to extract clay, and small concentrations of shallow pits, which could be the remains of moorings for barrage balloons or the foundations for radar stations. In addition to these there were also a number of undated irregular features, which are thought to be the result of periglacial erosion.There was evidence across the estate of the use of Luton Hoo as a military centre in World War II. There was no indication of any surviving archaeological features pre-18th century. The fieldwalking produced a small assemblage of worked flint, which implies the presence of low density late Neolithic / early Bronze Age activity in the immediate area.
