Abstract:		 Bedford Borough Council has granted planning permission for the erection of a new detached dwelling and alterations to existing access and parking at 9 Goodmayes Close, Bedford. Due to the potential archaeological sensitivity of the site a condition was attached to the planning consent requiring a programme of archaeological works comprising observation of groundworks associated with the development and the investigation and recording of any archaeological remains that were revealed. The development site is situated on the gravel terrace to the south of the river Great Ouse. Investigations on the gravel terrace to the east of Bedford have identified numerous archaeological sites. These include early Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual monuments and settlement sites dating from the prehistoric and Roman periods. In 1997 a trial trench evaluation was undertaken along the southern edge of Fenlake Meadows. Archaeological features dated to the 11th-13th centuries were found close to the present development. Groundworks for the development comprised the excavation of a foundation trench for the new dwelling and a pit for the installation of a soak away. No features of archaeological interest were revealed during the groundworks. A thick overburden was observed which was presumably deposited when the current dwellings were constructed in the 1950s. The presence of thick overburden suggests that if archaeological features were present in the immediate vicinity, then they could be relatively well preserved.
