Abstract:		 CgMs Consulting Ltd are gathering baseline information on Land east of High Street, Henlow, Bedfordshire, in support of a planning application for a residential housing development. A detailed magnetic survey of the site identified a number of linear and amorphous magnetic anomalies (Stratascan 2013). Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a trial trench evaluation. Sixteen trial trenches were positioned to test geophysical anomalies and to test apparently blank areas. The majority of the features consist of ditches and quarry pits located in the eastern half of the area with relatively few features found in the western half. The earliest evidence consists of the three pits located at the centre of the western side of the area, one of whicjhcontained a small amount of late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pottery.. The other identified features are likely to date from the medieval or post-medieval period. These features produced a small artefact assemblage. Most of the pottery dates from the early medieval period (1150-1250). A small number of features in the western side of the area consist of a hollow-way,with possible precursor ditches. The north-east part of the site contained a dense concentration of features which comprise quarry pits, ditches and a small number of other quarry pits. The south-east part of the area contained a moderate concentration of features, mainly ditches with a few pits in the extreme southeast. The ditches may be drainage or boundary features located away from activity areas however the presence of pits at the southeast of the site could indicate other activity in this area.
