Abstract: |
As part of a programme of exploratory archaeological work undertaken in advance of a planning application for residential development on land at 234 High Street, Arlesey, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by AML Property Investments Ltd. to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation by trial trenching. The methodology for the work was agreed with the Archaeology Team (AT) at Central Bedfordshire County Council (CBC). The site is located on the eastern side of the High Street, in the rear garden of no.234, centred on NGR TL 19320 36748. The site lies at the northern end of the known medieval settlement. No significant archaeological features were encountered in the trench. A cobbled surface was encountered in the north-eastern corner of the trench. The suggested extent of the surface, based on the evidence in the trench sections, was 4.9m in length and 1.6m in width. Its southern edge appears to have run parallel to the northern boundary to the site. Ordnance Survey mapping shows adjoining outbuildings located on the boundary between the present site and no.238 to the north in 1901. They are not shown on earlier mapping and it is likely that this feature, which is likely to have been constructed in the late 1890s, relates to these structures. Finds observed within this layer included brick fragments, coal and sherds of transfer printed china, all of late 19th and early 20th century date. These artefacts were not collected. |
