Abstract:		 Central Bedfordshire Council are preparing a planning application for the expansion of Flitwick Leisure Centre onto a site to the north-west of the current Leisure Centre. The Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist (CBCA) has advised that an archaeological field evaluation must be undertaken in order to obtain information required to compile a heritage asset assessment to accompany the planning application. The field evaluation comprised the excavation of six trial trenches measuring 2m in width and 30m in length. The archaeological evaluation uncovered no features predating the modern period. The modern features were exclusively observed in Trenches 3-6, defining the centre of the Proposed Development Area (PDA) as an area of modern disturbances. The features comprised make-up and levelling layers which raised the current ground level in an area that represents either an infilled natural hollow or a quarried area. Dating evidence was available from one of the lower deposits placing the origins of the levelling events in the modern period. A hardcore surface recorded in Trench 5 is thought to be contemporary with the back filling and levelling works associated with the construction of the football pitches. In summary, although some anthropogenic activity has taken place at the site, it is likely to be related to 20th-century development to the east and north-east of the PDA. It is of limited archaeological interest and of no more than negligible to local significance in terms of archaeological regional research frameworks.
