Abstract:		 In March 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land to the south of Bedford Road, Moggerhanger, Bedfordshire. The evaluation, which comprised the excavation of eight trenches, was carried out to fulfil a condition attached to the granting of planning permission for the residential development of the site. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its location to the west of the town of Moggerhanger, which has its origins in the medieval period, and its proximity to known archaeological sites of prehistoric to modern date. A previous geophysical survey of the site did not identify any definite archaeological anomalies, although an anomaly representing a modern field boundary, anomalies indicative of ploughing and a number of areas of ferrous disturbance and uncertain responses were identified. There was a moderate correlation between the evaluation results and those of the geophysical survey. The predicted geophysical anomaly was present, although additional features not identified by the geophysical survey were also recorded. The evaluation identified five ditches, exposed in four trenches. Four of the ditches are depicted on historic mapping, representing elements of a post-medieval field system, with two of these ditches containing brick and/or tile dating to the post-medieval period. A further ditch remained undated, but likely represents a further element of the identified post-medieval field system.
