Abstract: |
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development on land to the rear of 33-43 Ickwell Road, Northill, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching prior to the submission of a planning application for construction of two new dwellings with associated services, access and landscaping. Three trenches were excavated across the site. Evidence of brick making was recovered from features in trenches 2 and 3. A large pit or pond feature and the edge of a possible brick clamp kiln was revealed in Trench 3. Brick wasters, pottery sherds, and clay pipe dating from the post medieval period were recovered during the course of this investigation. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb further archaeological remains of any significance may be considered to be Low for the prehistoric, Iron Age, Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods, increasing to High for the post medieval period. Due to the evidence of an important regional industry, the potential significance of such remains is considered to be Moderate. |
