Abstract:		 A planning application for the change of use of arable land to wildlife habitat at land off Stewartby Way, Stewartby was submitted to Bedford Borough Council in October 2009. The proposed development involves the creation of ponds, woodland and scrub within an area of c. 12ha . As the site lies within an area of potential archaeological sensitivity, a recommendation was made by the Borough Council Historic Environment Team for a pre-determination archaeological evaluation of the site to be carried out. Albion Archaeology undertook the excavation of 32 trial trenches. Seven of the trenches contained the remains of early-late Iron Age activity. The features were generally distributed along the higher ground across the centre of the site and were overlain by subsoil and topsoil Ditches were the commonest type of feature, the majority being aligned NW-SE or NE-SW. Two of the larger ditches appear to form the corners of two enclosures. Other features included a small Iron Age pit and two hearths comprising large, irregular stones. The Iron Age features most likely represent a small scale farmstead-'type' settlement, which may have been present in one form or another throughout the Iron Age period.
