Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation as the first stage of the archaeological investigative works required to address a condition (no. 6), attached to a planning consent for the redevelopment of land at 21 Sandy Road, Everton, Bedfordshire (CB/16/04926/FULL). Archaeological trial trenching took place with archaeological features identified in four of the five trenches excavated. Trench 2 was devoid of archaeological features. The evaluation revealed features that provide evidence of activity on the site dating from the late medieval to the modern period. Late medieval remains were identified in the south-west part of the permitted development area within Trench 3. A large N-S aligned ditch and three pits to its west were sealed by a late medieval soil layer. The recovered pottery and charred plant remains suggest that this activity was domestic in origin. The charred plant remains indicate potential to recover information on diet and aspects of the local arable economy. These remains relate to the development of the historical settlement and are of at least local significance, with some potential to address regional research objectives. Trenches 1, 4 and 5 contained ditches, pits and structural features representing field boundaries, refuse pits and footings for former street-front buildings and gardens - all dateable to the post-medieval / modern period. These remains are of no more than local significance and have no potential to address regional research objective. |
