Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the demolition of the existing buildings at Chiltern View, Higham Gobion, and the construction of a replacement dwelling with a new access road. The initial stage of groundworks was undertaken in late March 2016, focusing on the footprint of the new dwelling, which involved the stripping of overburden to the archaeological horizon, followed by excavation of the large cavity for the basement of the new dwelling. This revealed extensive disturbance associated with the former farm and its subsequent demolition, including traces of footings of buildings. Subsequently, in February 2017 stripping of the new access road was monitored. Whilst there was little disturbance from modern activity, the investigation only revealed a former cultivation soil above the undisturbed geological strata. No artefacts were recovered. |
