Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted on appeal (APP/P0240/W/16/3154544), for the erection of a single-storey residential dwelling on the site of a former agricultural building at Land at High Gables Farm, Clophill Road, Maulden, Bedfordshire Due to the archaeological potential of the site a condition (no.7) was attached to the appeal decision, requiring a staged programme of archaeological investigation The archaeological evaluation was undertaken during a period of dry and generally bright weather conditions. Three trenches were opened, with Trench 1 and the SW part of Trench 2 investigating the vicinity of the former building and associated gravelled areas, whilst the remainder of Trench 2 and Trench 3 were beyond the modern activity in the grassed area. The evaluation only identified modern features and deposits, most of which were associated with the former building. Beyond the activity associated with the former building, the soil profile indicates a former cultivation soil. The linear feature in Trench 3, which also contained modern material, would appear to correlate with one of the land parcel divisions shown on the 1797 Enclosure map; it subsequently became the northern limit of the orchard shown on the 1883 Ordnance Survey map. The continued use of the boundary may account for the presence of the modern finds. The features and deposits revealed by the evaluation are modern in date and have no further potential to address research themes associated with the development of medieval or post-medieval Maulden.
