Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Bedford Borough Council (BBC) for a one- and two-storey rear and side extensions at 12 Manor Lane, Wymington, Bedfordshire. The archaeological works comprised the monitoring of the excavation of footing trenches for the new extensions, together with any associated ground reduction which had the potential to reveal archaeological remains. On the first day the turf, topsoil and some of the subsoil was removed to a depth of 0.3m. On the following day all the foundation trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 0.8m. The trenches were excavated through the remaining subsoil and into the undisturbed geological strata. Apart from modern activity associated with the standing building (e.g. drainage trenches), only a single undated pit was revealed. The stratigraphic relationships and nature of the fill suggest that this was also modern, though of uncertain function. No artefacts were observed. |
