Abstract: |
In May 2018 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of Observation and Recording on land adj. to 12 Poplar Close, Roxton, Bedfordshire in order to fulfil a condition of planning permission for the construction of a single new dwelling with associated driveway, parking and garden. The general stratigraphy consisted of a single homogenous deposit of some depth that appeared to indicate that dumping may have been carried out on the site. The site also appeared to have been truncated, as sub-soil was only observed along the southern side of the site. Ordnance Survey mapping points to buildings having once existed on the site from at least 1884 up until 1973. By 1973 the buildings were no longer present and the roadway for Poplar Close had been constructed. Such activities on the site may explain why the site had been truncated. No archaeological finds, features or deposits were found which may be related to the truncation of the site, but also that any potential archaeological features within this area may be more widely dispersed. |
