Abstract:		 Brownhill Hayward Brown Architects, on behalf of Bedford Borough Council prepared a hybrid planning application for the erection of a microbrewery with access road and ancillary works and Outline proposals with all matters reserved, except access, for mixed used development, to include employment land, leisure and hotel uses on land at Fairhill, Great Ouse Way in Bedford. This record represents the results of the evaluation of the brewery site, which forms part of the permitted development area. The trial trenching of the brewery site took place in July 2018. Archaeological remains were identified in three of the six trenches. In Trenches 2 and 3 evidence for post-medieval/modern quarrying was identified, whilst in Trench 5 an undated and heavily truncated ditch survived. Elsewhere only modern ditches were present. The results suggest that there is low potential for the survival of archaeological remains within the brewery site. The revealed features are of no more than local significance and have no potential to address regional research objectives. The absence of remains here suggests that the late Iron Age and Roman farmstead identified to the north and west of the area and in the northern land parcel does not continue south into this area. Whilst no contemporary remains were present the recovery of a worn late Roman coin from Trench 2 is testament to the presence of activity of this date in the wider vicinity.
