Abstract: |
In May 2015 an archaeological evaluation followed by observation and recording was carried out at land adjacent to 17 Wavendon Road, Salford, Bedfordshire as a condition of planning permission during the construction of a single, two-storey detached dwelling with an associated double garage. The project revealed evidence for possible prehistoric, late Saxon and early medieval activity. The oldest features on the site consisted of two adjacent linear gullies, one of which contained burnt daub. The daub was interpreted as structural and of possible prehistoric date. The two gullies were cut by a large late Saxon/medieval ditch with finds including a sherd of St. Neots Ware (10-12th century), and a sherd of Shelly Ware (12-13th century). Charred plant remains were also found believed to represent a scatter of food preparation waste. The large ditch may possibly be associated with St Mary the Virgin Church or Salford manor, both of which are in close proximity to the site. |
