Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2019 at Land between Astwick Road and Taylor's Road, Stotfold, Bedfordshire. The fieldwork comprised the excavation of thirteen 40m long trenches. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its location to the immediate north of the town of Stotfold, which has its origins in the Saxon period, and its proximity to known archaeological sites of prehistoric to modern date. A previous geophysical survey of the site did not identify any definite archaeological anomalies, although anomalies indicative of ploughing and a number of areas of ferrous disturbance were visible across much of the site. Three undated features were identified, comprising a ditch, a pit and a posthole. These features are not apparent on the geophysical survey. No evidence was identified to suggest the continuation of any archaeological remains contemporary with the Roman enclosures and medieval settlement identified at Aspen Gardens, c. 250m to the south-east and it seems likely that contemporary activity did not extend as far as the evaluation area. |
