Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2018 on land at Oakwell Park, Bidwell, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. The Site is formed of two separate areas separated by Oakwell Park House and seven trenches were excavated across the combined 3.2ha site area, comprising two measuring 20m long by 1.8m wide, and five measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide. Scattered archaeological remains were identified comprising a ditch in the northern part of the site and three small gullies in the southern area. Pottery of Late Iron Age - Early Roman date was recovered from the ditch, while Early to Middle Iron Age pottery was recovered from one of the gullies in the southern area. These features appears to be related to contemporary activity within the wider area including previously identified Iron Age and Roman settlement to the north, west and east of the site, elements of which have been investigated in connection with the nearby A5-M1 Link Road and Houghton Regis North, Bidwell West developments. |
