Abstract: |
In April 2019 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological investigation, recording, analysis and publication at The King's Arms, 27 London Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire, SG19 1HA (NGR TL 1650 4941; Figs. 1 - 2). The investigation was undertaken as the initial requirement of a planning condition (No.9) attached to planning approval for the erection of two semi-detached dwellings with associated car parking, cycle and refuse store (CBC Planning Reference CB/16/05626/FULL). It was carried out according to the requirements of the Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologists (CBC). The main research potential of the site related to its proximity to the historic medieval core of Girtford. The evaluation also had the potential to shed further light on the character of Roman settlement activity at Girtford. Modern (19th - mid 20th century) pits and a ditch were revealed. Pit F1039 may have been an early feature as it cut the natural. No finds were present. Below Made Ground L1009, a possible channel was present. |
