Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook an archaeological watching brief and evaluation of land at Aspects Leisure Park, Newnham Avenue, Bedford. The work was commissioned by Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate PLC, in advance of a planning application for a residential, hospitality and retail development. The trial trenching evaluation revealed the remains of a previously identified Tudor wall and associated ditch in Trench 1. Previously unrecorded medieval, dissolution and post-medieval features were concentrated in Trench 2. Medieval ground levels were identified in Trenches 1,2 and 6. Evidence of previously recorded and further unrecorded earthworks were concentrated in Trench 3. A single medieval dressed stone was recovered from Trench 6. Late post-medieval quarrying and industrial activity was concentrated in Trenches 6, 7 and the east of Trench 2. No evidence of the medieval Newnham Priory cemetery or Tudor garden soils was identified during the evaluation. The medieval earthworks and buildings were found to be more extensive than previously identified.The overall pattern of the layers observed during borehole monitoring indicate Modern and post-medieval made ground layers overlying natural gravels.
