Abstract: |
A planning application for the erection of a stable building for use with the keeping of horses at Waiting for the Sun, Rushden Road, Bletsoe, Bedfordshire was approved by Bedford Borough Council. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the works in accordance with a written scheme of investigation, approved by the HET, and to produce a report detailing the results. The archaeological monitoring revealed no archaeological remains. The foundation trenches were relatively shallow at c. 0.45m below ground level. Generally, this resulted in the trenches at the southern end of the building not penetrating the subsoil. However, along the northern half of the building footprint, underlying geological levels were clearly exposed. The findings of the archaeological monitoring indicate that neither the Roman settlement (MBD307) nor the medieval settlement (MBD17007) in the vicinity extend into the area of the stable building. |
