Abstract:		 Gaunt Golf Design Ltd, obtained planning permission to remodel and raise the tee, fairway and landing area at John O'Gaunt Golf Course. The planning application was supported by a heritage statement,. The permitted development area also lies within the setting of the scheduled monument of John O'Gaunt's Hill ,situated immediately to the west. In light of this, the Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist advised that a Strip, Map and Sample and Watching Brief were required. Initial groundworks comprised the removal of turf in two areas. Excavation below this depth only occurred in the footprint of the new pond Evidence of past human activity was only encountered in Area B and comprised two undated features, a ditch and a tree-throw which had been dug into the surface of the peat layer. Below the peat part of a possible paleo-channel] was also identified. No archaeological features associated with the medieval John O'Gaunt's Hill were identified The relatively shallow depth of the topsoil and the presence of landscaping make-up material indicate the area has been heavily altered. The peat must have formed in constantly waterlogged conditions. However, given the limited extent of the works it was not possible to say whether this waterlogging occurred simply as the result of seasonal flooding and a high water table or whether there might once have been an artificial lake in the area. The results of the fieldwork indicate no evidence of human activity pre-dating the post-medieval/modern periods.
