Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the erection of a new farmhouse and agricultural barn on land off Luton Road, Toddington, Bedfordshire, LU5 6DE. The planning permission contained a condition requiring a staged programme of archaeological investigation. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the first stage of the investigation, which comprised archaeological field evaluation in the form of trial trenching. The trial trenching comprised of four 2.2m-wide trenches, totalling 85m in length, were excavated within the footprints of the proposed buildings and the access drive. Trenches 1 and 2 did not contain any archaeological features and Trench 3 contained only a modern service trench and a land drain. Three ditches, of probable 19th/20th-century date, were present in Trench 4. The two parallel ditches may represent a trackway. Overall, the features may be associated with the use of the site for allotments between 1927 and 1950 The trial trenching did not reveal and medieval or post-medieval features. Nor was any prehistoric flintwork identified within the ploughsoil and subsoil. The 19th/20th-century features in Trench 4 are of negligible archaeological significance and have no potential to address any of the topics identified in the regional research frameworks.
