Abstract: |
In May and November 2017 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of Observation and Recording of Land Rear of 3 Park Palings Walk, Haynes, Bedfordshire, under the terms of National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Note 15 of the Appeal Decision. An area of approximately 30m2 was monitored with the ground reduced by a maximum depth of 1.06m, fully exposing the natural geology. The general stratigraphy of the site comprised variably thick modern made-ground (up to 0.43m), overlying heavily rooted subsoil (c. 0.34m) and natural geology comprising yellowish-brown clay with occasional nodules of flint. No archaeological cut features, deposits or artefacts were discovered during this project. The presence of subsoil suggests that the site may not have been significantly truncated during construction of the older adjacent properties and area landscaping. However, even partial vertical truncation of the local stratigraphy may account for the absence of archaeology. Alternatively, it may have been that the site was small and fell between what may have been widely dispersed features, or that the development area is located beyond that which has been historically occupied. |
