Abstract:		 Projectpart Homes Ltd are gathering baseline information on land at 118B High Street, Clophill, Bedfordshire, in support of a planning application for residential development. The proposed development area lies off the High Street within the eastern end of the historic core of Clophill. For this reason Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist advised the planning officer that a heritage statement based on the results of a trial trench evaluation should accompany any planning application Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the evaluation, which comprised the excavation of eight 11m x 2m trial trenches. T Archaeological features were identified in four of the eight trenches. The most significant remains were located in the northern part of the arera on the higher ground closer to the High Street frontage. A number of pits and ditches are likely to be associated with medieval settlement of the area. A series of E-W aligned boundary ditches are likely to demarcate the southern edge of a plot fronting onto the High Street to the north. To the south of the boundary ditches was lower, boggy ground, prone to flooding, as indicated by thick alluvial deposits. The absence of archaeological features suggests that this area was used as fields or meadows in the medieval period and beyond.
