Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in April 2016 at land off Aspen Gardens, Stotfold, Central Bedfordshire. The Fieldwork was undertaken to accompany an outline planning application for a residential development of the site. The evaluation comprised the excavation of twelve trenches. Aerial photographs taken of the site taken between 1945 and 1968, depict a rectangular earthwork indicative of a moated enclosure. The Central Bedfordshire Historic Environment Record cites this feature as the possible location of Stotfold Newnham Manor House. The earthwork has subsequently been ploughed out, but remains as a cropmark on historic aerial photographs taken in 1996 and on Google Earth satellite imagery of 2005. A geophysical survey of the site detected a number of ditch-like anomalies corresponding to those shown on historic aerial photographs. The evaluation identified archaeological deposits throughout the site excluding two trenches in the north-eastern part. The earliest features encountered comprised ditches containing pottery dating broadly to the Roman period, concentrated within the eastern part of the site. Within the southern part of the site the evaluation recorded large enclosure ditches and associated features, corresponding well with the result of the previous geophysical survey and similar in scale to those recorded on medieval moated sites. Associated artefactual material was however almost entirely of post-medieval/modern date. A machine excavated section, excavated through an east/west aligned segment of the enclosure did not reveal any in-situ medieval waterlogged deposits and appeared to indicate that the ditch had been re-excavated during the 20th century.
