Abstract: |
A planning application was approved by Bedford Borough Council for the alteration of the existing house and garage and the construction of a new porch and detached double garage at The Limes, Church Walk, Harrold, Bedfordshire. The groundworks for the development were carried out under archaeological observation in accordance with the approved WSI. Although they did not extend to the depth of the undisturbed geology, they did reveal various make-up layers, some waterlogged deposits and a possible robbed-out wall. The subsoil in both excavated areas produced two sherds of residual Roman pottery, 21 sherds of late Saxon pottery, a significant amount of medieval pottery (160 sherds), and three sherds of post-medieval pottery. A small quantity of Roman and medieval roof tile (186g), post-medieval glass (8g), animal bone (512g), and ferrous slag (215g) was also recovered. The relatively large assemblage of late Saxon and medieval pottery suggests that the site may contain significant archaeological remains that are now preserved in-situ beneath the development. The small size of the investigation area and the limited extent of the groundworks preclude any further analysis. |
