Abstract:		 Central Bedfordshire Council granted planning permission CB/20/00517/FULL for the erection of a single-storey side extension, at 4 Stratford Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire, centred on OS grid reference TL 1790/4859. The extension was located within the area of the known Roman small town and, therefore, a condition was placed on the planning permission requiring archaeological investigation, recording, analysis and publication. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake this work in line with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation. The excavation of the foundation trenches for the new extension were monitored by an archaeologist on 12th November 2020. The following deposits were recorded: A thick layer of colluvium, which from other investigations is known to be an extensive layer that seals Roman remains and deposits Fragments of sandstone (below the colluvium and at the very base of the foundation trench), which were not obviously linear in arrangement but which could possibly have derived from the foundation of a Roman building. Gravel deposits in the eastern foundation trench, which and appear to be part of a road makeup. No dating evidence was recovered and while it is most likely these deposits were associated with a wider, perhaps post-medieval version, of Stratford Road, it is not impossible that they are associated with a Roman road that may underlie Stratford Road.
