Abstract: |
In September 2017 KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a Strip, Map and Sample Excavation at Chamberlains Barn Quarry, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire following several phases of archaeological evaluation on the site, which has been granted planning consent for mixed use development (CB/11/01937/OUT).A geophysical survey undertaken within the development area had suggested a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest (Stratascan 2008). In response to these findings an Archaeological Evaluation was conducted in 2016 which uncovered a suspected medieval triple ditched enclosure (Headland Archaeology 2017a). The Strip, Map and Sample Excavation undertaken by KDK Archaeology revealed a wide but not particularly deep, probably late medieval or early post-medieval ditch, that had subsequently been re-cut and later still consolidated with a post-medieval land drain. A series of ditches and gullies were also present, though other potential features identified in the geophysics survey proved to be variations in the natural geology. |
