Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned by DKP Developments Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation works at the 'The Limes', Rectory Lane, Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire. In 2004 Albion undertook an earthwork survey and evaluation in support of a previous development proposal. The survey defined the extent of a medieval moat, the position of which was subsequently confirmed by one of the four evaluation trenches. The subsequent mitigation works had two components: preservation of the moat; and investigation of the house footprints in advance of construction works. The investigation focused on the main impact of the development - the footprints of the new buildings. This was undertaken, revealing several phases of activity, which would appear to extend from possibly the late Saxon period to the late medieval / post-medieval period. The activity included evidence for enclosures, timber buildings of contrasting methods of construction, and pit-digging. It would appear that most of this activity pre-dated the construction of the moat.
