Abstract: |
Central Bedfordshire Council granted Planning permission for the construction of a noise attenuation bund with an acoustic fence and an associated flood compensation area on land at Brook Farm, Hulcote, Bedfordshire. Albion archaeology was commissioned to produce two WSI's (Albion Archaeology 2013/135 and 2013/136), in accordance with the brief issued and to undertake the fieldwork. Much of the development works at Brook Farm, Hulcote were too shallow in depth to expose any potential archaeological remains. Where the archaeological level was reached, a relatively low number of features were revealed, which comprised a ditch, a gulley, a pond and three furrows. None of these features contained any artefacts. They are, with the exception of the ditch, judged to be relatively modern features, based on their deposit characteristics or their alignments matching the extant field boundaries. The WNW to ESE aligned ditch is interpreted as a field system ditch of some antiquity as its alignment was notably different from the modern field boundaries. Due to the lack of any artefacts from the feature, its date is unknown. The modern features and are of negligible significance. The undated field system ditch, that is judged to be of antiquity due to its alignment, is of low / local significance. |
