Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the demolition of a bungalow and garages, and the erection of one replacement dwelling and one additional dwelling with associated access and car parking at 84 High Street, Cranfield, Bedfordshire. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken and the two trenches revealed post-medieval to modern deposits beneath a thick topsoil deposit, and a possible buried ploughsoil. Apart from activity associated with the modern dwelling, in Trench 1 towards the street frontage, a large feature, possibly a steep-sided quarry was revealed. A small quantity of finds datable to the 17th-18th century was recovered from the associated fill. Features revealed in Trench 2 included a small modern rectangular pit containing an animal skeleton - probably a pet from the associated bungalow. A single isolated and undated stakehole was also revealed in the trench, as well as several areas of root disturbance associated with trees etc. The investigation has revealed a series of post-medieval to modern deposits and features associated with the former utilisation of the area. They have no further potential to address research themes associated with the development of medieval and post-medieval Cranfield. |
