Abstract:		 Woods Hardwick Planning Ltd, have submitted a pre-application enquiry to Central Bedfordshire Council for residential development on land to the south of Stanford Road, Shefford, Bedfordshire. An evaluation of the site was undertaken, and archaeological features were identified in thirteen of the fourteen trenches. Two activity foci of late Bronze Age / early Iron Age date were identified, comprising ditches, boundaries, pits and a posthole. A ditch containing pottery of early-middle Saxon date was present; it is probably on the eastern limit of an area of Saxon settlement excavated on the adjacent site to the west. Medieval activity was represented by a single pit containing a quantity of 12th-13th-century pottery that suggests nearby medieval settlement activity. A series of post-medieval ditches were identified in trenches situated on the floodplain and are likely to be drainage features. One ditch containing modern artefacts corresponds to a field boundary depicted on early 19th-century maps. Remains of post-medieval buildings and a watermill might survive beneath existing commercial buildings and hardstandings in the south-west.
