Abstract: |
In June 2017, KDK Archaeology conducted a Heritage Asset Assessment and Archaeological Evaluation at 65 High Street, Ridgmont, Bedfordshire. The site is located in the historic centre of Ridgmont, a village characterised as a linear estate village with a number of dwellings built by the Bedford Estate in the mid-19th century. The archaeological evaluation uncovered a post-medieval pit of uncertain function that cut an undated, possible drainage ditch. The site contains no standing heritage assets, but this study examined the impact of development on the surrounding Ridgmont Conservation Area and the historic buildings that overlook the site. Whilst the replacement of the current timber buildings with a new dwelling will change the setting, the thoughtful placement and design of the new building would have a beneficial impact on the heritage assets that surround the site without compromising their significance. |
