Abstract: |
In January and February 2010 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd carried out pre-determination evaluation of a small parcel of land located at the northern periphery of the village of Caddington, Bedfordshire. The clay with flint and brick earths of the Caddington area are known to contain in situ earlier Palaeolithic archaeological remains. However, test pits excavated to a depth of c.1.2m below the ground surface have shown that in situ Palaeolithic remains are not present within the near surface deposits. The archaeological potential of the deeper clay with flint deposits remains undefined. The evaluation trenching revealed ephemeral evidence of later prehistoric activity; an early-mid Iron Age post hole and a small number of other tentatively identified and undated features were present at the east of the site. A shallow ditch and possible pit at the west of the site are interpreted as dating to the post medieval period. |
