Abstract: |
In January 2015 KDK Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at 7 Woodfield Lane, Renhold, Bedfordshire in advance of the demolition of existing structures and the construction of two detached dwellings. The evaluation uncovered a number of features; pits, a ditch and a gully that contained evidence of 11th-12th century pottery and animal bone. A rat's nest was also excavated, the date of which was undetermined. Later, in spring 2015, KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of observation and recording of Plot 1, 7 Woodfield Lane, Renhold, Bedfordshire as a condition of planning permission for the development of the site. Another pit was revealed during this phase of works, as was a further pit or ditch. Neither feature produced any datable material but it is possible that they were contemporary with the features found in the evaluation. The combined investigations have shown that Workhouse End, one of several ends making up the village, was settled in the late Saxon/early Norman period and produced similar pottery and charred grain assemblages to other local sites, such as Tempsford and Yeldon. |
