Abstract: |
Planning permission for a detached dwelling and double garage at Church End, Willington was granted by Bedford Borough Council. As the proposed development was located within an area of archaeological sensitivity, the Historic Environment Team (HET) of Bedford Borough Council recommended that a condition was attached to the planning consent requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological works. The works were to comprise observation of construction groundworks and the investigation, recording, analysis and publication of any revealed archaeological remains. Following archaeological observation of the groundworks for the house and reviewing the findings, the HET agreed that further observations of the garage works would not be necessary . Archaeological observation of the groundworks associated with the house construction was undertaken on 3rd March 2014. The monitoring of the groundworks of the development area produced little of archaeological interest. Identified features included a large probable quarry pit and a possible ditch. They produced no artefacts but both cut the subsoil. As the latter is typically a product of medieval or post-medieval ploughing, it is likely that the observed features are post-medieval or later in date. The only possibly earlier feature was a NW-SE orientated gully. As it was roughly parallel to the existing Church End road, it probably marked a plot boundary and /or served as a field drain. |
