Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning permission was granted for a two-storey side extension at Dynevor Cottage, Rectory Lane, Ampthill, Bedfordshire. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the archaeological works in accordance with the methodology described in a Written Scheme of Investigation. Pottery sherds of 12th- and 13th-century date and a small quantity of animal bone were found in made ground within the footing trenches. No definite archaeological features were identified on the site. The presence of a pit cannot be excluded but it is most likely that the finds were incorporated into the soils as part of a general background presence of medieval activity. They do not, however, indicate any specific domestic or industrial activity on the development site itself. In the medieval period the development area was most likely agricultural or garden land at the back of, and uphill from, the plots fronting Church Street and adjacent to the parish church. Dynevor Cottage is a modern octagonal building which incorporates a 19th-century cottage along the frontage of Rectory Lane. Ordnance Survey maps suggest that the cottage definitely stood on the site by 1901, but it may have been built in the late 19th century as earlier maps also show structures on the site but they are less clear. The post-medieval pottery and tobacco pipes retrieved during the archaeological investigations are most likely associated with activity in and around the cottage.
