Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological field evaluation on land at Valley Farm, Flitwick, Bedfordshire. Although cropmarks that are tentatively suggestive of rectilinear enclosures have been identified within the application site (HER 562), there is otherwise little evidence for heritage assets in the form of sub-surface archaeological remains. No trace of the rectilinear enclosures was revealed by a geophysical survey in the form of detailed magnetometry. However, evidence from the surrounding area suggests that the environs of the application site were densely settled from at least the Iron Age onwards. Trial-trench evaluation of the application site revealed a relatively low level of past human activity indicative of an agricultural landscape, with no evidence of settlement. An extensive programme of ploughsoil sieving failed to reveal any significant concentrations of artefacts. Most of the identified heritage assets took the form of small ditches, the majority of which are either undated or post-medieval in date. Such remains are of low archaeological significance.
