Abstract: |
Planning permission for the erection of a single-storey rear/side extension and a 1.5-storey side extension at Manor Cottage, School Lane, Bolnhurst was granted by Bedford Borough Council Monitoring of groundworks took place. On 2nd October 2017 the trench footings for the eastern extension were reduced to their full depth of 1.2m through the turf and soil profile into the undisturbed geological strata. On 10th October the footing trench for the northern extension was excavated to a maximum depth of 1.2m. The eastern area was relatively undisturbed with some evidence for raising of the ground level, possibly associated with creation of the present-day garden. Below this was a former cultivation soil, which in turn sealed a linear band of disturbance, thought to define the line of a former hedge that had been grubbed out. The northern area showed more disturbance, probably relating to previous work associated with the standing building. Below a layer of made ground was the undisturbed geological strata; no archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were observed. |
