Abstract:		 Planning permission (was granted by Bedford Borough Council for the redevelopment and conversion of barns to form five dwelling houses on land adjacent to Church Farm, 41 High Street, Roxton, Bedfordshire. The planning permission contained a condition requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological work. The initial stage of this work was to comprise field evaluation by trial trenching. The trial trenching comprised the excavation of six trenches, positioned to test the areas affected by the planned construction works within the development area. The evaluation identified archaeological features in three of the six trenches, the majority of which comprised undated features including four shallow post holes, a pair of parallel ditches and two pits. Two features were datable by limited artefactual evidence. The most notable was a section of a N-S aligned ditch dated to the late Saxon period. The other was a probable ditch dating to the medieval period. All the archaeological features were found in trenches located near to the south and east boundaries of the site. Along with the absence of topsoil and subsoil in the northernmost four trenches this suggests that the site has been considerably disturbed by post-medieval and later activity The monitoring of the foundation trenches for four development plots, carried out in October 2017, identified limited archaeological remains. These included continuations of some undated ditches found during the earlier phase of trenching evaluation and four additional features. None of the features produced finds and so cannot be dated. No further late Saxon or medieval activity was definitively identified and the continuation of a late Saxon ditch found during the evaluation was not located. This may indicate that the feature was in fact an elongated pit.
