Abstract: |
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of a proposed new development site on land at Russell House, 14 Dunstable Street, Ampthill; Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching. This work was a predetermination requirement of a planning application for the proposed development. Five trenches were excavated across the site, revealing modern made up and levelled ground, the remains of a demolished garage associated with a former ambulance station and a Victorian rubbish pit. One feature of natural origin was also excavated. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains may be considered to be Low for the prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. This rises to High for the modern period, though the potential significance of such remains is considered to be Low. |
