Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the conversion and extension of two barns to create two dwellings and construct one new dwelling on land to the rear of 52 London Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire. As the site is located in an area with the potential to contain heritage assets with archaeological interest, the Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist advised that an archaeological trial trench evaluation be undertaken. The trial trenching comprised the excavation of four trenches, each 2m wide and 5-13m long. The trenches were positioned to test the areas affected by the proposed new buildings and parking areas. Trench 1 revealed a cluster of small and medium-sized pits, a posthole and a shallow gully. All but one of the features can be dated to the post medieval/modern period (1750 onwards) and are likely to be associated with temporary structures and/or cultivation activities. The only possible evidence of earlier activity on the site is an undated pit. Trenches 2 and 4 revealed no archaeological features and Trench 3 contained a large dump of modern tile located beneath the subsoil. This may be the fill of a large pit or a ground-levelling deposit. Historic building recording of the barns and vart shed also took place.
