Abstract: |
In September 2019 KDK Archaeology Ltd conducted an Archaeological Evaluation at The Orchard, Bedford Road, Houghton Regis, with the excavation of seven trenches close to, or within the footprint of the development. The only archaeological remains were revealed in Trenches 1 and 7. There were three postholes in Trench 1 which may have formed part of a boundary or structure; two of the fills contained late Iron Age pottery. A gully/ditch documented in Trench 7 was undated. A large possible palaeochannel, was revealed in Trenches 3, 4 and 6, north of the Iron Age remains. There was no evident link between the archaeological features and the paleochannel, though Iron Age activity/settlement has been recorded on other sites in the Houghton Regis area. |
