Abstract:		 In June 2019, Cotswold Archaeology carried out a trial trench and geoarchaeological test-pit evaluation at the site known as Land adjoining Mancroft Road, Caddington, Bedfordshire, in connection with proposals for the residential development of the site, which is located in an area of archaeological potential for heritage assets of Palaeolithic and geoarchaeological interest, as well as later periods. Due to ecological constraints only three of the proposed seven evaluation trenches and three of the six geoarchaeological test-pits could be excavated. No brickearth deposits or doline features were identified in any of the geoarchaeological test-pits, the topsoil immediately overlaying the Clay-with-flints natural substrate. Given the absence of brickearth in the excavated test-pits the potential for the remainder of the site to contain any such deposits is judged to be low. A single ditch, likely associated with a now-removed field boundary, was identified in trench 3. Although undated the ditch shared a commonality of alignment with other extant boundaries in the area and a post-medieval date for the feature is therefore conjectured.
