Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Stone Cottage, 7 The High Road, Felmersham, Bedfordshire (NGR SP 99202 57716). It was commissioned by Nichole Goodland, in advance of a proposed extension. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site is an extension of the property, no 7 The High Road on the east side of the village of Felmersham. The property is bounded by the road to the west, by houses to the north and south, and by a meadow to the east. Groundworks were undertaken in two areas each comprising a foundation trench and a topsoil / oversite strip. The areas abutted the existing building on the southern and northern edges. Previous excavation at properties in Trinity Close to the west uncovered archaeological remains of medieval and/or Saxon date including inhumations, the base of a pillar and an oven, but similar features were not present at Stone Cottage. The site had been heavily disturbed by modern construction and landscaping but there was no residual material present to suggest that medieval remains had been present prior to these works. |
