Abstract:		 During July 2011, an archaeological evaluation of land to the rear of the Wilkes Almshouses, North Street, Leighton Buzzard was carried out, to inform proposals for the re-development of the site. Eleven trenches were excavated within the footprints of the proposed buildings. A variety of post medieval and modern features were found across the site, largely relating to previously demolished outbuildings. Three post medieval ditches recorded in the south western part of the site show some correlation to features recorded on the 1880 Leighton Buzzard Town Plan. A shallow gully containing a single sherd of medieval pottery was recorded close to the centre of the site. The results of the evaluation support the theory that the site was located on the periphery of the early settlement at Leighton Buzzard.
