Abstract: |
In May 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land between 20 and 48 The Lane, Wyboston, Bedfordshire (NGR 516222 256722; Figs. 1 and 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for a new development of 11 dwellings with associated access, parking, turning and landscaping (BBC Planning Reference 15/01239/MAF). It was required based on advice from Bedford Borough Council Historic Environment Team (BBC HET). The site has a potential for evidence relating to the origins and development of the settlement at Wyboston, particularly in the medieval period. Archaeological features were recorded in each trench. The features were principally pits and ditches, and include two possible ponds (Trenches 1 (F1002) and 3 (F1022). Five of the archaeological features contained no finds, and ?Pond F1022 contained modern (19th - 20th century) pottery. The remaining features contained post-medieval finds. The features which contained post-medieval pottery contained a high percentage of residual medieval and transitional pottery. The condition of the sherds suggests that medieval deposits have been disturbed by later activity, but the pottery sherds have not moved far from their original place of deposition. |
