Abstract: |
Planning consent was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the construction of ten dwellings, with associated garages, parking and landscaping, at the former Larkswood Ltd factory site, Bedford Road, Aspley Guise, Milton Keynes, MK17 8DG. Trial trenching took place and comprised the excavation of four trenches. Trench 4 was 30m long; Trenches 1 and 2 were 15m long; and Trench 3 was shortened to 10m to avoid the track crossing the site. The trial trenching revealed post-medieval/modern rubbish pits in Trenches 2 and 3 and undated postholes in Trench 1. No features of archaeological significance were present in Trench 4 but a substantial depth of modern overburden was recorded. The pits and postholes revealed within Trenches 1-3 predate the recently demolished buildings and are most likely to be backyard remains associated with former buildings and the present-day properties fronting Bedford Road. |
