Abstract:		 The survey has successfully evaluated the possible application site and significantly enhanced the archaeological record by identifying thirteen distinct areas of archaeological activity including two moated sites, and up to ten settlement sites, the largest of which covers 24 hectares and includes roadside settlement, ditched enclosures and several outlying roundhouses. Ten of these sites were previously unrecorded, or were only suggested by find spots. These areas are assessed as of high archaeological potential. Anomalies locating a post-medieval isolation hospital to the west of Lidlington are also ascribed high archaeological potential, as are two curvilinear anomalies locating historic parish boundaries which are thought to be medieval, or earlier, in origin. At Sheeptick End a broad area of magnetic disturbance may locate the 'Cheife Lodge' to Brogborough deerpark which was documented in the seventeenth century. This is ascribed a moderate archaeological potential as are numerous isolated anomalies suggestive of pits and ditches, but forming no clear pattern, which have been identified at several locations across the site. Alluvial and colluvial superficial deposits across the lower-lying northern half of the site may mask the response from archaeological features, if present. For this reason, the archaeological potential of the site may be greater than indicated by the survey. However, there are still large parts of the site where no anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified and based on the results of the survey, the archaeological potential across these areas is considered to be moderate to low.
