Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the erection of a two-storey side extension at West Cottage, Hinxworth Road, Edworth, Bedfordshire. As the development lies in an area of archaeological sensitivity, a condition was placed on the planning permission requiring the implementation of a scheme of archaeological investigation during the groundworks. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the archaeological works . Beneath modern deposits was a buried cultivation soil, which contained occasional small fragments of modern brick and tile, suggesting that it was in use until relatively recently. The continuation of the buried cultivation soil was also exposed during archaeological works associated with East Cottage. The buried soil was above an undated ditch, aligned roughly N-S. This land division does not appear on Ordnance Survey maps of 1882 or 1901, which pre-date the cottages. No evidence of the Saxon or medieval settlement focus was revealed. |
