Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the demolition of an existing detached dwelling and garage and the erection of four detached houses and three detached garages on land at 10 The Green, Bromham, Bedford. On the basis of evaluation results (Oasis id albionar1-144487), a brief outlining the requirements for the Stage 3 archaeological mitigation strategy (HET 2013) was issued. The archaeological work was carried out in accordance with the WSI. The majority of features within the area of investigation are datable to the early medieval period, c. 1150 to 1250, largely based on pottery typologies. Residual late Saxon/Saxo-Norman pottery, datable to c. 900 to 1150, also provided evidence for earlier settlement activity in this location. However, no features could be exclusively dated to the earlier period. The medieval remains included the south-eastern corner of a field and possible associated north-south orientated drove way, a later enclosure system, a furnace, cultivation trenches, a group of pits and a boundary ditch. A modern drain was also encountered. The results of the investigations have made a modest contribution to understanding of the evolution of a small part of Bromham in the late Saxon to early medieval periods. A number of boundaries and land divisions were identified; however, their primary function within the development of the settlement remains uncertain. The recovered artefacts have shed light on the types of ceramics used in the village; have indicated that iron was processed within the community; and have demonstrated that Bromham was integrated in a wider trading network. The small size of the investigation area, in particular, hampered interpretation of the remains.
