Abstract:		 Planning consent was granted for construction of a single-storey side extension and first floor rear balcony with staircase; and change of use of land to provide extension to the nursery garden and associated landscaping at Ruxox House, Flitwick . Archaeological background information from the surrounding landscape indicated some potential for archaeological remains in the area of the development and a condition requiring a programme of archaeological investigation was attached to the planning permission. The construction of an extension on the south end of the existing building had the potential to impact on buried remains, if any were present. This area was subject to archaeological monitoring during groundworks carried out by the building contractor. No archaeological features were identified or artefacts recovered. The soil profile consisted of topsoil and subsoil with evidence of modern disturbance above undisturbed geological strata. The geological strata exposed in the trench consisted of sandy clay forming part of the superficial geology recorded for this area, i.e. Mid-Pleistocene glaciofluvial deposits. A relatively thin, dark layer sandwiched between the top of the geological deposit and the subsoil in the north-west of the trench may be a buried soil. The upper part of the soil profile consisted of modern deposits. A deep layer of topsoil recorded in part of the trench is likely to be a garden soil formed when the building was in residential use as cottages.
