Abstract:		 Stotfold Town Council in partnership with Central Bedfordshire Council have submitted a planning application to develop land adjacent to Larksfield Surgery, Arlesey Road, Stotfold, into a community football facility consisting of three football pitches with accompanying toilets and car parking. Five of thirteen trenches to the south-east of the area revealed archaeological features of Roman date. The remains comprised eighteen ditches, a stone lined corn dryer, a hollow-way / track-way, a large pit and two post-holes. An additional seven ditches and two post-holes were investigated which are undated but are probably also Roman or possibly earlier. The features present a fairly dense grouping and the presence of moderate amounts of pottery and animal bone suggest that it is a domestic settlement site. Several of the features contained fragments of ceramic building material of Roman date comprised four brick or roof tile (tegula) fragments, and a piece of flue tile. These artefacts suggest the presence of a structure with a tiled roof in the near vicinity. The presence of a flue tile fragment is indicative of a building hypocaust heating system. In contrast, the eight trenches to the east contained only a minor ditch and post-hole which are undated. Furrows, a headland of medieval to post-medieval date and modern land drains were also identified.
