Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) for demolition of an existing building and construction of a new outbuilding in the grounds of the Garden House, Battlesden. As the development had the potential to contain heritage assets with archaeological interest, a condition was attached to the planning permission. Archaeological observation and investigation during the groundworks for the outbuilding took place Groundworks for the main block of the outbuilding were observed, but it was found that the footings of the south-east part of the building were to be constructed on 'made ground' resulting from relatively recent levelling of the site. This demonstrated that groundworks for the south-east part would have no archaeological impact. In the north-east corner of the foundation trench a single, potentially medieval, ditch was found on an approximate east-west alignment. The base of this feature lay beneath the formation level for the building. The only dating evidence recovered from it was a small fragment of medieval pottery. Trenches at the south-west side of the building revealed the foundations of the building that had been demolished prior to development. The only other features were in an area of disturbance associated with the roots of recently felled trees. The possible medieval ditch is most likely to have been a field boundary or possibly a ditch flanking a road or track, approximately on the line of the existing driveway. Along with the undated ditch recorded in 2014 during works to the Garden House itself, this ditch is the only archaeological evidence so far recorded that relates to the landscape predating the establishment of the 19th-century Garden House and its walled garden.
