Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted for redevelopment of the Westoning Recreation Club, High Street, Westoning, Bedfordshire. The proposals comprised demolition of the existing pavilion and the extension of the clubhouse to provide additional amenities, together with the creation of a new car parking area. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by AP consulting Engineers Ltd to undertake the archaeological works Westoning Recreation Club lies at the eastern edge of Westoning. The groundworks comprised the construction of an extension to the clubhouse to provide function/meeting rooms, new changing rooms and disabled WCs (Area 1) together with demolition of the existing pavilion and re-development of the pavilion land to create new car parking (Area 2). Archaeological observation of the groundworks was undertaken intermittently. The groundworks in Area 2 were too shallow to impact on archaeological remains. By contrast, the groundworks in Area 1 revealed a number of medieval pits, post holes, ditches and layers, representing a focus of domestic activity. Together with similar evidence previously identified at Westoning Lower School to the south of the clubhouse, they suggest that the settlement extended for at least c. 75m along the south-east side of the present-day Greenfield Road / Park Road. |
