Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the construction of a new two-storey one-bedroom house, with associated parking and garden, in the rear section of the garden of No. 21 Regent Street, Dunstable, Bedfordshire, LU6 1LP As the development had the potential to impact below-ground archaeological remains of prehistoric, Roman and medieval date, a condition (no. 5) was attached to the planning consent, requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological strip, map and sample excavation, including provisions for post-excavation analysis and publication, as required. At the time of the work, the rubbish which had previously occupied the area, had been removed to ground level. The investigation focused on the areas of the development that required significant ground reduction, comprising the footprint of the building, the patio area of the garden to the south-east and the car parking space to the west. The higher terrace away from the street frontage revealed undisturbed chalk geological strata, apart from a modern service and manhole shaft. The lower terrace parallel to the street frontage revealed a variety of features, including the truncated remains of a small post-medieval gully, aligned roughly NE-SW. An area of disturbance in the north-western part of the PDA may be associated with the construction of cellars for the adjacent properties. Other features included service trenches and associated manhole shafts, along with modern rectangular pits containing building waste. A modern brick-lined planting pit was also revealed close to the pavement. If any substantial earlier features had been present, they would have extended into the chalk and survived in undisturbed ground between the modern features. However, no such pre-modern features were revealed.
