Abstract: |
A planning application for the replacement of a temporary classroom with a single classroom building at Willington Lower School, Church Road, Willington, Bedfordshire was approved by Bedford Borough Council. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological works. The site lies on the northern outskirts of Willington, c. 215m south of the River Great Ouse. The new classroom building measured 12.5m x 7.7m and was built on a series of 12 concrete foundation pads of varying sizes. The site of the new classroom building lies within the postulated extent of the medieval settlement of Willington. The objectives of the project were, therefore, to monitor all groundworks that had the potential to reveal archaeological remains, in particular any relating to medieval Willington. The archaeological monitoring of the mechanical excavation of the foundation pits took place in November 2015. Beneath modern overburden it revealed a possible former schoolyard surface, a buried subsoil, an undated ditch and a tree throw. |
