Abstract: |
In order to investigate the archaeological potential of a proposed new burial site located on land to the rear of 146 Milton Road, Clapham, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Clapham Parish Council to undertake a programme of targeted trial trenching. Six trial trenches were excavated across the site, focusing on the areas of greatest potential impact. The trenches revealed one linear feature, which had been subject to at least one phase of recutting. Sherds of late Iron Age pottery and a burnt stone were collected from the fill of the recut. No other archaeological finds or features were uncovered during the fieldwork. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb significant archaeological remains may be considered to be Low for all periods except the Iron Age period where the risk may be considered to be Moderate. The Iron Age remains may be considered, potentially, to be of regional significance and could contribute to a better understanding of the nature of Iron Age settlement in the county. |
