Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological works during the erection of an extension to the existing building and a detached garage at Sherwood Cottage, Bolnhurst. The development comprised extending the cottage on the southern side and to the rear, the construction of a detached garage to the south of the dwelling and erection of a boundary fence. The work was undertaken in two phases, with excavation of the footing trenches for the extension to the existing building being undertaken on 19th November 2010. The second component of the project requiring monitoring consisted of excavation of the footing trenches for the detached garage, which were opened on 8th August 2012. Both areas of ground disturbance associated with the excavation of footing trenches revealed modern deposits associated with the current cottage. Below these deposits, two large linear features were revealed extending roughly NE-SW, being identified in both areas. It is possible that the deep early feature in the south was a quarry / pond, rather than a ditch, similar to ones depicted in the vicinity on the 1884 Ordnance Survey map; the finds indicate a similar date. A spread of material extending into the upper part of the later ditch contained fragments of construction material incorporating large quantities of straw, subsequently rendered in concrete. This is probably derived from the demolition of an outbuilding in the vicinity.
