Abstract:		 CgMs Consulting Ltd are gathering baseline information on land east of Station Road, Langford, Bedfordshire, in support of a planning application for a residential housing development. This was to comprise geophysical survey, completed in April 2014, and archaeological trial trenching. Archaeological features were revealed in all five trial trenches, including five ditches dating to the early Iron Age associated with enclosures detected by the geophysical survey. Also revealed were ditches corresponding with former field boundaries marked on late 19th- and early 20th-century OS maps. The evaluation demonstrated that the enclosures are associated with early Iron Age settlement; they are of moderate - high significance in light of regional research objectives regarding the characterisation of Iron Age settlements and their relationship with contemporary enclosure systems. The two groups of intercutting ditches corresponding with the locations of the former field boundaries marked on late 19th- and early 20th-century OS maps are of low significance, though the apparent longevity of the boundaries is of some interest with regard to the development of the historic rural landscape. Groundworks or landscaping associated with residential development within the area will potentially have a direct negative impact on these heritage assets.
