Abstract: |
In April 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out a heritage assessment on the site of a proposed redevelopment at Bowman's Mill, Astwick, Bedfordshire (NGR TL 21685 38436). The assessment was commissioned by Briffa Phillips in support of a planning application for the project which includes re-development of the mill and farmhouse, the erection of new buildings and landscaping. A possible prehistoric ring ditch is located approximately 300m east of Bowman's Mill (BHER 16836). Cropmarks of a probable Romano-British villa or farmstead are located to the north of the assessment site and appear to extend to towards the site (BHER 3550). A Romano-British cemetery is recorded approximately 80-100m north-west of Bowman's Mill (BHER 503), and a scatter of Romano-British pottery was located between the cemetery and the settlement crop marks (BHER 15940). Bowman's Mill dated to 1847 is a Grade II listed building (BHER 1010). The 1804 Inclosure Map shows a large rectangular building on a north-south alignment at approximately the location of the mill and two or three other buildings on the site. The 1901 and 1924 OS Maps show the Ivel has been modified, and the mill and Mill House are present. The mill has ancillary buildings to the west and north; most notably a rectangular structure abuts its north-west side, several buildings are grouped to the south-west, and a row of buildings or structures line the track to the north. |
